Here was my theory.

1: no raised pot pre-flop, so figuring no-one to have a huge hand.
2: no interest on the flop from anybody, so figuring the second queen to be a good card for me. flat call from big blind also didnt worry me as I felt at worst i was chopping. as he didnt raise pre-flop, i didnt put him on ak, aq. kq was a possibility but unlikely. any other queen, i felt sure he would of put out some kind of bet on the flop. my only concern would be, as he was bb, he could of had a raggy king but if he did, good luck to him.
3: blank river, i intended to check call the river whatever happens. although I dwelled up on my 'hero' call at the end, it actually convinced me even more i had the best hand.
Surely it is only in the interest of the bettor to over-bet the river (with the nuts) if he felt sure i was going to call. how could he think i had a queen. surely i would of bet the river with a full house??
Therefore with such a big bet, i felt confident my hand was good.

AK!!! this was the one hand i never could of put him on.

Was this a really bad call from me???? great, if not unorthodox, play from the guy with AK???

Please note: I do not pretend to be a great player, or think i know what im talking about. just thought id share my thoughts with how the hand went. Would really like some feedback, as im always looking at ways to improve my game
