I'd just bet ~8k on the flop and be done with the hand if he calls. As played idk, with no reads or stats I'd fold I guess.

^^^ Yeah I agree, it's better to bet the flop because it defines his hand pretty well. Yes it's turning QQ into a bluff but that's not inherently a bad thing. Checking the flop makes the later streets harder to play OOP, if we were IP then checking the flop would be fine.

3 handed, SB limps I 3x JJ on BB he calls...flop is AJx, he checks I check, turn is rag he leads 60 I raise to 180 he shoves 400 i insta call he has AA

Im then on life support with 7 BB til I bust with T9dd shoving from SB into KT. 9....QJ flop :P

Thanks for the input too. Betting 6K on the flop (20% of my stack) and leaving the other 80% behind not too bad? If called...im in check/fold mode unless I spike a Queen 1 time.
