Also, in your QQ's hand, if you cant trust your opponent enough to fold on the river, then you probably shouldve check/called the turn.

The turn is a classic WA/WB situation. Against someone I cant safely bet/fold I prefer check/calling the turn and river. A counter-argument to this idea is "well if you cant safely bet/fold then why not just bet/call the turn and river?" Against an aggressive retard I certainly would bet/call the turn and river. But against someone I simply dont trust I prefer getting to the showdown cheaply and seeing who wins. This check/call line has many advantages. Here are a few:

1) You avoid getting raised on the turn and calling down only to be shown a better hand.

2) You avoid gettting raised on the turn and folding the winner.

3) Becuz many players online love to bet when checked to, many players will bet any hand they intended to call with, so checking the turn doesnt lose value against lesser hands against many player types.

4) You will sometimes induce a hand to bet that wouldve folded to a turn bet. This is a great event.

5) You will sometimes induce a hand that wouldve folded the turn or river to bluff both streets. This is a wonderful event.

6) Sometimes a hand that wouldve folded to your turn bet will check/behind but hit enough on the river to call your bet. This is also a great event.

Now some people may say that check/calling the turn will often make our hand very transparent against good/decent players but I table select very well so this isnt a problem for me.
