I'd bet the river. Could you explain why you decided to check?

KoRnholio will become famous soon enough
Against tricky aggressive players I don't mind a check on the river. Tptk on that board is the kind of hand I want to showdown for 1 bet on the river.

If I check to Mr. Trickyaggressive he will likely bet (sometimes bluff) and I can call. If I bet he will also often raise and I'll have to call (investing 2 bets).
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Anyway, I would bet this river more than not only because opponent did 3-bet preflop. At this point I put villian on AK, AQ, TT, KK, or AA. The only hand here raising is TT and you could fold on river for the 1 bet as well. The other hands will just call you when you bet but bet when you check, and you may even get lucky and find a fold. What you don't want to do is bet and then call a raise so if you can't fold it here to a raise then you should check/call.

I think a couple of you guys misread the hand. The flop aggressor did not raise preflop and the preflop 3-better check/folded.

CO probably has a weaker Queen.
