Oh, the preflop call was a mistake. I knew as soon as I hit it. What should I have done postflop?

Fold PF, the only way you can play this is if you get priced in. You need several other players in before you to call this pre-flop.

Raise the river.

Preflop call... meh. I don't particularly like it, but that's because I have a hard-on for cleansing the poker world of the opinion that QJ is a good hand.

Post flop... I like it all. I agree with raising the river. I think you'd have been capped on the flop if you were up against a set or two pair... somebody who'd want to isolate you earlier to keep you from catching more cards, which you did.

Nicely played, either way.

EDIT: My bad on the getting capped on the flop. I didn't see he got the 3rd bet in, not you. I still think the way you played it is correct.
