Any reason why you are leading flop (particularly this large sizing)?

Value / protection, but I realize I'm hardly ahead vs a calling range. What would be the worst value hand you would lead here readless?

We don't need much protection with this hand. If he has a FD well he has decent equity vs our hand and so we aren't getting much value.

Worst "value" hand I would lead here would actually be something like K6 (no FD) since it has similar value as Q2 but actually benefits some from protection against 2 random over-cards. But I'm only leading if villain is pretty passive where-by protection becomes more of a concern.

So you also don't donk 2pair on monotone flops? It's doesn't have that much more equity vs a FD than a TP.

The difference with 2 pair is that we beat all his Qx and can go for 3 streets of value on blank runouts.

Protection is important, but betting for value should be our primary concern. I don't think donking is terrible with this hand if villain is super passive but we shouldn't go 3/4 pot since we just narrow his continuing range to hands that we aren't ever huge favourites against.
