As played river is easy call since there is missed FD on the board.

Check turn and river. Fold against river bet.

All in on the river; he has plenty of Qx he's never folding.

I would not shove river but definitely call here yes. Villian has a wide range and many 1p are calling. The only thing that would make me worry actually is when a whale is starting to go on 'defense mode'. This means he wants to protect his hand somehow. Mostly not any good in my experience :f_biggrin: Big pots for big hands and small pots for small hands :) All in between is the one we all should be working on :f_thumbsup:

The check call isn't too bad, but i think betting would be optimal, probably 1/3-1/2 pot. If he is a bad player, you may get a call from any Qx 10x that he may check back if you don't bet.

On the other hand he could fold or raisebluff with his missed draws. Both these things we dont like.
