He is peeling pairs under Q. I'm not sure he would fold a small pair if I bet the turn anyway.
He seemed to bet the river close to 100% after I checked the turn. The times I was able to showdown he showed some super thin bets that I'm not sure were for value or maybe he thought he was bluffing. I think it may be best to bet the turn in situations where I don't have many outs but have some showdown value and maybe a little turn value. I feel that I'm gonna get accidentally owned the times I check these back with the intent of picking off a bluff. I think I need to call the river UIP more in situations where there are a lot of missed draws in his range and just folding more on the dryer boards (duh!).
I did see him bet/fold the river several times after the the turn was checked. Perhaps I should sometimes turn the top of my folding range into a bluff on the river?
Thanks for the feed back!
