Villain was an unknown that bought in for a full 100bb stack.

Is turn bet sizing too small? I figured a 1/2 pot bet could get floats from pocket pairs. And what's my river line? How does your line vary against a known fish?

Value from weaker queens on turn is more important than getting floated by mid pairs imo, when I see a bet that size, it looks stronger rather than weaker and I don't expect to get calls here except from qx and 7x so .67-.75psb is better.

As played, i like c/c on river since you no longer beat anything but one or two queens but might induce a bluff from worse.

c/c river is absurd on this board

bet - it may become closer to a c/f with Q9 or w/e but I think its an easy bet.

I dont think the river is thin at all, esp since villain will peel PP when hero half pots turn (I like your turn bet sizing).

1/2 river and ship it vs QJ, 88, w/e

I agree with bet bigger on turn and check/fold river. After betting turn, what do you expect he will bet on the river when you check to him? He will probably check behind most of his queens and just fire away with his 7's that you obviously don't beat.
