Check Check on Turn tells a story.
Villian could just have Weak Ace

When you hit two pair on River QQ 1010 you should not bet.
What are you hoping your opponent has?
Ace Rags are probably calling w/ AA 66 Q kicker
A slow played 666 is going to re-pop you

You are only getting called by better hands on the river
So an unwise River Bet

I disagree. Trip 6s aren't checking the turn, and an A would almost certainly bet when checked to. Villain could easily have a pair less than QQ that will now call imo.

I prefer betting the turn and I agree as played I'd rather check to induce.

I would definitely check/call the river, villain can easily have a weak ace with this action.

Why should OP bet turn? This board is dry besides the flush draw (which we have, which means villain has it less), so that puts a lot more Ax and 6x in his range. Also, when we're ahead, we're smashing him and don't really need to bet to protect.

I think trying to induce a stab is a better river line.

How many handed? TQs is not a great hand UTG 8 or 9 handed.

How many combos of Ax do you think he has vs combos of less than QT that call a river bet?

Honestly i just love having some hands like this as a check, but perhaps this isnt the best board to do it on? I check turn because i block so many draws and only have 2nd pair but maybe i just have it enough of the time and so much equity i want this as a bet? I feel like it depends on whatbi want my checking range to look like here. Anyhow i thought river bet was standard after turn checks through
