Not sure a naked Q should bet this turn? Why would you? You are not folding better and you can't handle a raise.
Folding better? Qx is definitely a valuebet ott.
If you get raised, well, fold, next hand.

What is calling? Maybe AhKx or AxKh calls. (I guess you guys would all call w/ 99-JJ on the turn?)

Edit to add: If he's any good and I bet the turn, he raises with the Ah and maybe the Kh, but not many people have it in them.

This is a difficult run out for the flop bertor's range, and an excellent one for the cc range. I think you have to bet larger here. We want to be extremely polar here so that v calls incorrectly. I think this is always too small of a bet for both value and as a bluff coz anything that is calling here calls bigger, and middle hands call tighter.

I bet at least 115 prob more like 140

Nh tho.

I thought $85 looked pretty value-y but not so small that he makes a crying call (remember, I don't want a call). I'm sure a bit more would have been fine. Definitely would not go less than half pot.
