id opt for a fold pre. the weird minraise from him makes me even more uncomfortable postflop.

Flop lead is horrible. Your calls may be ok or at least not as bad, since he is giving you reasonable odds, but preflop is certainly questionable.

I check call flop oop probably. Against some opponents pre is fine, othertimes its an easy fold.

Agree 100% with your statement. But assuming he calls preflop and takes your suggested line on the flop and a blank falls on the turn as it did, do you lead turn? Attempt to check-raise turn? Check/call turn? Check-fold turn?

I figure I am either way ahead or way behind on this rainbow board. The only possible drawing hand is JT. If I am ahead he has 2-3 outs. If I am behind, I have 0-5 outs. Out of position, do you try to keep the pot small here and risk giving a free card if the turn goes check-check? Or do you "value bet" the turn? Do you fold if he raises your turn "value bet"? If the turn goes check-check, do you have to check-call any reasonable bet on the river (ie induce a bluff)? Surely you don't donk bet the river after a check-check turn with a hand that only gets called when its beat.

What are the reasons for not leading on the flop?

Personally, I hate defining my hand out of position on a dry flop against a preflop raiser (who has position on me). I am telegraphing that I have a Q. It's hard enough to play profitably out of position when your hand is disguised.

1) We build a big pot with a hand we don't like to go broke with.

2) We let him get away cheap with hands we beat that he would otherwise c-bet.

3) Whatever villain chooses to do, it gives us very little information about his hand.

4) We have no idea what to do if he raises us.
