we have Qs3s and must bet 98% of times?
BB plays a more passive strategy here on a less volatile texture. If BB is x/r less, SB cbets more. Q3 has some thin value, and also values protection (i'm not saying it's a non-factor). Also, Q
3 dominates the other 3X combos which will usually check down after w us after calling flop. If we check flop w Q3, we can't bet unimproved turn/river bc it's too thin and we miss that value vs 3x. A combo like QQ is probably a 100% check here though, and that's bc it doesn't need protection on flop and most turns are fine for it and can get value later streets.
