Bet 20, fold to a push, and post your no limit questions in the no limit forum, this forum is for short handed limit.

Reraise preflop.

Reraise preflop.

I was scrolling down to post this when I saw you'd done it for me.

exactly as said above, re-raise preflop and if villain re-raises you then you can re-evaluate your hand. With the preflop re-raise that river card becomes much less scary...

i 6.25-7.5 this all day long PF... rather large to help compensate a for positional disadvantage, everything else gets easier to play. as played, b/f sounds good, he'll be bluff shoving over teh top of you almost never unless he's crazier than i am

Hardly ever flat call a 3x BB bet from MP with QQ. What is the point of that? We have to pay attention on the flop. What does villain hold that he's OK with flatcalling our check raise with? And our check raise is a little smallish IMHO. Are we trapped? The turn is a little small-ballish for me. I hate hate hate check call on the river, except maybe it stimulates a bluff shove. I think we're good here .... 40% of the time; enough to call and weep.

Sorry, i should have pointed out i would have 3bet had i not been 1 second from timing out. FYI, i bet $20 on the river and folded to a shove.

Flop raise needs to be a bit bigger, about $8.5 I think.River is really tough imo, you really need to give some info on the villain because I think this isn't to far away from a c/f against a lot of players.

Ah. The wonders of internets poker. I think you were beat. This is another case of villain knowing you're not weak. Too bad we didn't have a chance to play this better PF.
