1/3 live.
Villain is effective stack with 400. He's a early 30's Asian, seems like a rec player but I don't know I'm new to the table.
Villain opens to 7 UTG. Hero raises QhQs from UTG1 to 25. Fish flats the button and villain calls.
Pot:72
Flop: Tc 4s2s.
Villain leads for 17, hero raises to 60 button folds villain calls.
Pot: 192
Turn:5s.
Villain leads for 30 hero??? Hero calls.
Pot:252
River offsuit 3.
Villain bets 30. At this point I put him on a straight but I wouldn't be shocked to see two pair or a baby flush. I'm very torn between a call and turning queens into a bluff.

If villain has any sense you are losing more then winning but for that price you can't fold. Without a good read on villain's play raising is a bad idea, you mostly fold out his worse and get called by his better.
This is one of those situations where villain is betting badly but without knowing if he is betting too small with his value hand or making a small blocking bet or a terribly miss sized bluff you don't know how to react.

Does anyone like just calling flop in these spots?

Result: I felt like his range was really strongly weighted toward marginal hands and it was a blocker bet but I just didn't think I could credibly rep much after just calling the turn. Maybe it doesn't matter what I can rep since his hand was likely weak, but I didn't pull the trigger.
Hero calls and villain showed AT for a straight.

You need to be raising this obvious blocker bet OTT. I would pot it.
