First post, hope all goes well:

Villain sat down at the table about 20 hands ago, not too much of a read on him. He had called me down on a previous hand (some pretty hefty bets) with what I assumed was a flush draw, and folded on the river when he didn't hit it.


I was putting him on some kind of suited/connecting broadway cards due to his passive play on this hand until the river. I knew that he was capable of calling me with a draw since he had done that before. My guess was that he had AJ+ and kept calling me waiting for a 2 to hit to make a straight for him. When the river hit and it was a Q I figured he had AQ and thought I had something like A5.

To be completely honest a medium sized pocket pair wasn't even on my mind with regards to what he was holding. I guess I was too fixated on flopping top set(?) Maybe this was my leak which caused me to lose? But at the same time it seems like he just got lucky. He also disguised it well because the size of his bet compared to the size of the pot was more or less the same on both the flop and the turn.
