guy will toss it, so I'm giving him a chance to bluff.
For those of you saying "just 3 bet the flop and bet the turn," I have no idea why you would do that. You have a ton of equity on the flop against his range; on the turn there is no question that your equity goes down when the Q hits. Also, what hands are we hoping he is calling our turn bet with? Any 2 broadway cards he has us beat, and there's a chance he won't value bet a hand like QT if we check. Does he really have a hand like 77 often enough for us to bet here? Sure, we have good equity on the turn, but it's nowhere near 50%. And if he hit his straight, we're going to have to pay off his raise.

I think what people are saying is that IF you cap the flop THEN lead the turn. What I said and couple others echoed, is that I would call the 3-bet and consider my play on the turn based on what fell. When the Q comes I just call-down unless I improve to a flush or trips on the river. If a blank fell I would consider a c/r if this player likes the free showdown turn bet.
I don't have a problem with the call preflop, but I would prefer a three bet. The cap on the flop is not my choice, but is fine, but if you are going to cap you can't just check on the turn and let the villain value bet all the hands you are behind and check all the hands you are beating.
