I just finished my second session in a high stakes live game, it's a lot of fun playing live, and cause of the game being softer I don't think my average winrate will be that much worse, anyways, here is a hand I'd like some comments on. My image is pretty decent, I start to get some respect at the table, and I have not been doing anything out of line, I probably seem pretty tight aggressive.

6 Handed.
BB - Someone
SB - Someone
UTG - Someone
MP1 - Loose passive $2,000
MP2 - Me: $2,800
MP3 - Semi tight, aggressive - $2,000
Button - Someone

I get QsQh
Pot is "kill" by button so it's $40 to go, usually it's $20 to go.
MP1 - limps $40
Me raises to $140
MP3 - calls $120 (already the $20 kill invested)
MP1 - calls $100

flop 2h3h6h
I bet $280
MP3 calls
MP1 folds

Turn: 2h3h6h9s
I check
MP3 bets $400
I call.

River: 2h3h6h9sTc
I check
MP3 bets $800
I think for a while and call.
Kind of a passive line to take, and often I think passive lines are bad, even though I kinda like it in this spot I'd be interessed in hearing what other people think.

Bet more on the flop.

Then c/r AI on the turn or just bet out and I'm leaning towards bet out because of all the hearts. I don't understand why you c/c?

Was thinking I got more value from a hand that I beat, he might bet a lower pp to protect it from the draw, and I have the queen of hearts after all, wich is good unless he is on a draw himself. But yeah, flop bet should have been bigger.

 I dont mind it too much, there are definately good and bad things to come. Although, I probably pot the flop as well. I think if you check/raise turn he folds most hands.

There is also a chance villain has a set here, although I don't know how big of a chance.

Thing is I can't see him calling a check raise on turn with a hand that I beat, apart from maybe JJ/TT but I doubth it. If he has a set I might outdraw him, and at least I'm loosing the least being up against a set. Flush already, too bad, and a heart draw I believed he would bet on river even when missing so I had lots of value to gain there. Against aggressive opponents, I think c/c can be the best line sometimes.

I'd say sets raise the flop a lot.

He had a pair he thought was ahead the whole time, and played the river badly IMO after feeling he might be behind after your turn call.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Maybe, if that's the case he did play it real bad, too bad there is no hand history to go to, to see his mucked hand.
