My question is, is this hand always a check on the T ? since im betting most of my range when the Q hits the Turn on that board, is it ok to bet this hand to get calls from pairs + gutters to check river ? Any thoughts on this spot are apreciated.

I've heard pros say you should generally barrel when the turn is an overcard to the board because it is likely a threatening card to the villain, and there are some draws that will call, so I think the barrel is fine.

Bet more on the flop if you're betting. Checking is fine too sometimes.

Agree with upping the bet size OTF. Also work in X middle pairs OTF

Agree with flop sizing, bet larger. A9 might be little to strong to check back but sure xb is viable option.

Turn I dont mind betting, but if we check have in mind that you would have to call off decent amount of rivers

Yeah I think I would definitely barrel on the turn here. Checking just looks so scared so even if you're ahead here you still lose the pot very often. Betting keeps your range wide so if villain does call again we still have the option for the third barrel. Obviously all this is also villain dependent.
