No, not against a taggy player. Ill check the turn a lot too. I dont think the turn bet is bad, but he can def have Q here and wont let go.

When he called 2 turns, I kept telling myself "anything but an ace or a heart and I'm probably good". I figured if he had a queen, he probably bets it because he doesn't want to give hearts a free draw...

I didn't bet the river because he could have backdoored into a straight. But wasn't sure if he would have risked checking it there.

was this hand so straightforward?
