QT is the only hand that beats you, but alot of other hands will call your all in. I think he would raise more than the minimum at the turn with QT.

I like your play. I may not have raised all in, but I need to do more of that also.

I don't like your river check, but once you make it I assume it's with intention of checkraising. The only reasonable hand that could beat you is QT, but there are quite a few hands you beat that will pay you off, including 77, TT, KQ, QJ, 44, etc. This is definately one of those times you can't chicken out on the river.

I think your river raise of all-in is fine. I also think a check/raise there is a good play because he has become the agressor by raising the turn. He will almost surely bet the river. And I think you can tell a lot about his holding by this bet. Either way you want to get all his money in the pot, and you did that. If he shows you QT or Q7 tough luck. However I would not at all be surprised to see almost any other Q, except maybe AQ.

Well played.

I bet he had 44, 77, or TT. No way he can fold. Of course you have to raise all-in.
