Default Re: 2NL: TPTK faces aggression on otherwise dry board

Should I have even pf called this? I figured I had position with a decent hand.

no, you shouldn't have. You neither have position on the raiser or much of a hand. QJo is easily dominated in these spots, and if you pick up a draw you must play it OOP, which is not easy. Fold PF.

Would a smaller probing bet instead of 10bb bet on the flop have been better?

As played, I would bet more on the flop. I'm not a fan of "probing bets", they are an obvious sign of weakness. If i had AA or KK here i might just call that bet. I might also call with AK ands hope that i'll get a chance to take it away on the turn. If you bet 2/3 or full pot and he calls you have a better idea whether you are facing a real hand or not.
In view of this, im not sure whether i would fold the turn or not. I think i might have bet the turn and then shut down if called.
