Hero (HJ): $300
BTN: $600

2 limpers. Hero raises to 15. BTN calls. One limper in MP calls.
Flop Kc5c2h. MP checks, Hero checks, BTN bets 18, MP folds, Hero calls
Turn Ks. Hero checks, BTN bets 36, Hero calls.
River 5h. Hero checks, BTN bets 51, Hero folds.

BTN looks like an internet player. No reads but he's played solid TAG and not done anything out of the ordinary. Hero has been tight.

Thanks for the replies, betting flop makes a lot of sense. My thoughts in game were, "I has QQ, ~wa/wb, don't turn it into a bluff".

If I'm called OTF am I c/f any turn that's not a Q?

I'd probably bet any broadway card that turned...villain flatting from button can be 88+ and flush draws all day long.

Yeah but wouldn't he check behind with those hands very often?

I suppose that depends on whether he thinks you would c/c with the same range on the turn, or fold out most of it to a sizeable bet.

I'm plenty fine with folding out 88+ and draws on the turn when I don't even have top pair, especially in low stakes live.
