I did end up shoving the river, to be called by QJ. Obviously checking turn is a mistake. I remember questioning whether I could get three streets of value. At the time I thought I would bet flop and check turn so that I could be called lighter on the river by one pair hands (77, 88) or possibly over cards that pair on the river. (QJ, KQ, AJ, AK, AQ) Hands that don't necessarily give up on flop in standard 1-2nl games.

I consider just calling, but think it's too weak. My thought is we lose too much value from smaller sets. We are losing to only QJ, and although I think it's definitely in his range, I think 99, 1010, 44 also belong in there. My main question when processing try hand was whether villain could call pre flop oop with QJ, and whether villain would check the turn with sets.

He has a lot of bluffs here. The only value hands are sets and 67, which we are blocking.
That makes sense. Thanks!
