I think you can still safely value bet this, although I might check for pc and to try to induce a bluff/increase the chances of getting called by a vbet on the river.

Raise to 140 preflop, I would check planning on c/calling and probably block betting most rivers.

Re: NLTRN $11 - QQ turn decision
 

PF I would make it 130 or at least 120, never less, especially if this if the first time you've 3bet in this match. Why offer him better than 2-1? Especially when villain miraises I raise bigger than pot to 130 or 140 to get more money in the pot.

If this is the 3rd hand, I would check turn and call anything less than pot. I seem to recall that until I hit the 55s very few villains know how to bet any amount other than pot, so if he bets pot I would still probably call.

If you agree with this, what are your plans for the river?

how can losing,

I seem to recall the hoards of minbettors at the lower stakes.

Re: NLTRN $11 - QQ turn decision
 

in the third hand its hard to say what he may have, but it seems at this level villians are calling 3-bets extremly light.i would have raised pf to 140, your flop bet looks like a cbet, to a rag flop so his call doesnt mean much, im thinking he has ace high there. i would most likely check/call the turn, and bet the river 60% pot, fold to a shove.
