You got to take away this pot from villain. At the flop, you bet into the paired board because with only one opponent against you there's ONLY 8% probability for each villain to have one card of that pair and since he called you preflop raise, he's got no 4 for sure. Make sure leave enough stacks behind to use the leverage effect OTT. If he calls the flop bet, you do a check/raise OTT. If the stacks are deep he will understand that you want to build up the pot. What you’re doing here, you actually with absolutely nothing, basically, you just setting-up the c/r bluff by using the flop bet into the paired board to establish the fact that you’ll able to bluff on the next round.
Are you still with me, ...mam? .., It doesn’t matter what two cards you’ve got. This goes back to playing people instead your cards. This guy just can’t help to think that you've got an A4s, 22 or a big overpair.
Of course it depends who the villain is as a "player" or a donkey? - I don't know until I see him. If he's a donkey this line may not work because he's got to understand what's gonna happen with his stack on the river.
Anyway, the flop bet should freeze your opponent and put him in a passive mode on the turn, where you are likely to get a check. This is the window to make a strong bet and take down the pot. He just can't call or make a playback, even with QQ, when somebody runs this line on him.
