Bet the flop. That check is so bad I don't know where to start.

As you played it, bet the river as well. No one raised the turn, so the straight is most likely not there. What exactly did the Q change?

flop play indicates that a draw is likely...

the flop bet isn't terrible, there are a lot of hands that are likely to bet for us. The pot is unraised and this is a good flop for most hands that just call preflop.

As it went down I don't like Hero's cap. I know that a lot of hands will change our equity on the turn (we may not have the best hand) but when we cap here we give away the strength of our hand aswell as charging BB 3-cold. A lot of the time we are going to want to encourage the call as our equity is incredibly high. I know that more bets * high equity is good, but is the frequency of the call worth the extra equity realisation?
