Bet the turn in the 1st hand. Check/call afterwards river generally.

What's the basic reasoning behind taking this line after being raised on the flop and how much should the bet be. Also another poster suggested to CRAI on the turn. Is this to represent the straight and fold better queens? Do you think they fold often enough at this level?

the crai is for pure value. They'll call you with anything they have, and he's so short you don't really care. You're ahead of his range as we see villain's with 2 pr, Q bad kicker, bare flush draw... their range is wide as can be. crai here is fine because we don't have to worry about reverse implied much at all.

A turn bet is fine too for value/protection against the flush draw/5outers which makes up a hunk of his range. Any way you do it, against someone that short you want the money to go in.

There's no real FE to be had. You're not folding better Qs -- and there's no straight to rep. What, you think he's going to put you on JT?? How?
