The villain in this hand is kind of a nit, 14/8 over 50 hands or so, but he picks funny spots to fire multi-barrel bluffs. He's done this a couple of times, and hit a miracle card on the river to win a big pot. He's been running really well and is up over a buy-in since sitting down, I haven't played any big pots against him though. I have $105 and he covers (this is 100NL btw).

Two short stacks post the newbie blind and another one limps. The villain raises to $7 from the small blind which he's done a few times when there have been limpers. I call in the big blind with TT and all of the shorties fold.

The flop is 986 rainbow, he bets $10 into a $17 pot and I call.

The turn is a queen completing the rainbow, he bets $20 and I call.

River is a ten putting four to the straight on the board but giving me a set. He bets $40 and I call.

Thoughts?

Firstly I raise pf. You have a good chance to take the whole lot down right there.

Second I prolly raise the flop because those cards are lining up a bit too straight for my liking.

As played I'll call the river.

Yeah, call the river, we're only afraid of Jx really. QQQ probably doesn't bet it and a 7 is unlikely.
