    bottled it on the turn again...

    What's he check-calling on the flop with? Would he not bet a good queen here? Trapping with a 6?

    Checking the turn - either hit his flush, or trapping with a 6 still?

    And Potting the river? Screaming that he's got something.

    Have a feeling he may have had QJ though. I just don't like this spot!

    Betting that big on river looks pretty strong to me, I can't see him just bluffing here as that would have worked better on turn with flush coming.

    I can see why you checked the turn with a flush there, I think he was was begging you to bet so he could check raise turn with flush. If i'm here I have to fold and let the fish have it.

    If they're capable of betting weaker Queen here then good luck to them but 90% of the time at 10NL, they're doing this with 6 or flush - you've only invested £2 so fold and get out cheaply!

    bet/fold turn like £2.50.  

    If he calls turn he will check to you on river most of the time too so you can check back happily. 

    Donk pot river bets are nearly always a sign of big strength at small micros.

    As played river is insta easy fold.

    You don't like these spots cause you've not defined villain's hand so got curious by his river bet where you're always beat.

    Rebuy, make a note of his line then move on.

    I've played petrachek a few times and seems a solid player to me..

    This looks like flush or quads as i cant see him limping utg with a queen rag or 6x.

    Whatever it is im pretty sure your beat, im deffo folding.

    quads much more likely than full house or flush.

    I think from whats been said about him being solid player. there probably slow playing AA or KK from that board. more than likely utg alot of limps in are small pp to big pp

    Either bet turn check back river or just check turn and fold now he's lead. It's very hard for him to be bluffing when he c/c's the paired fd flop and the fd gets there on the turn.

    Against most oppos, on this board I like Check turn, fold river.
    The only draw gets  there, and he either checks back a mid pair / weak queen on the river, or block bets smaller.
