QQ ugly board

Looks like a good place to check. If a Jack comes you could be golden, especially a non [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Jack.

I think it's better to risk giving a free card here than combined possibilities of betting with the worst hand / getting semibluff c/r'd off the best hand / losing the chance to improve to the best hand for free.

Also note that if Villain does not have you beat he will often fold here unless he has a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] which diminishes the value of a bet.
