Rock UTG raises, MP decent player 3bets, I raised smaller out of greed, thinking I am ahead anyway, leaving it to them to shove QQ+, AK. I didn't really expect the call, but when he does I am putting him on TT+, AK. Or I could give him speculative hands also?
His play indicates I am ahead, when he flats flop and checks turn, a very strong hand should have played for protection, lots of draws.
I check behind turn hoping to get to SD without risking my whole stack. Or to hit the nutflush. Should I have shoved here?
River I find myself forced to call vs his range, only JJ and TT beat me here.
Opinions?
