    Pre-flop - CO raises to t120 - that's amin-raise! Red flag unless he's a donk that does this all the time! I guess would qualify that as a donkey pf raise!

    Post flop you played it alright but just got unlucky on the river. However since CO only min-raised pf and called on the flop I would be suspicious that he too were playing an over-pair like AA or KK and might have checked the turn to see what he'd do. Not so sure I could have laid the QQ down to an all-in since your stack had him well covered but I think I'd be calling expecting to see a better overpair than mine!
    Tuf break on the river!

    Looks good. No reason to think you were beat. Just unlucky.

    I think you made a few errors/bad sized bets. I like a raise to t360+ preflop, good bet on the flop, but just get it all in right away on the turn - it will be in the middle by the river anyway.

    havent read the other responses yet, but i'm sure they mention something about your preflop reraise...weak! i think you need to pop it up to AT MINIMUM 370... i'd prefer just making it 400 even, your nearly min raise isn't going to accomplish anything here. After that, the play was fine.

    From a results standpoint, I don't think anything is changing, TPTK=nuts in these peoples' eyes...so all the money is going in on the flop or the turn no matter what here.
