I guess I decided to check back the river to let V bluff with a weaker Queen. I don't think there would be any 66 and 88 in his range in this spot. In hindsight should I have bet the river and how much ?

why did you bet?
theory reasons to check turn: villain still has a range advantage (both of you have the same sets/Qx, but you dont have KK/AA combos), esp assuming that he doesnt have that much air in his cbetting range (he opened utg)

exploitative reasons: its hard for you to bluff, you prob wont get two streets of value anyway

Ya I agree the turncheck is better in theory.

For me personally it always sucks to be treated like a bitch by the PFR so in that sense I like fighting back there and making the life of him a little bit harder. He is a human after all.

However this would lead to a pretty weak checking range on the turn. Prepare to get barreled...
