Default screwballin\'

Everyone knows your (2p2)enis is measured by ur ability to screwball.

Only a few orbits with villian, but he likes to play a lot of hands. No significant reads otherwise.

I figured that any PP and even possibly A high is betting this turn. My only fear was that my PF 3-bet would scare villian into not betting a betable hand on the turn.

fwiw, I dont see much value in the flop bet unless he'll go the distance with A hi.

I had been c-betting like a beast when stealing from button and CO ... so I figure might as well C-bet when I have a hand.

i like the hand, turn c/r is fine. if he checks behind there's a good chance he wasnt calling anyway and the free card may help him make a second best hand on the river that he will then have to call with

wtf?

I would bet the turn and expect hands with no outs like JT to sometimes call anyways.

I'm not really sure I like it.

The 3rd Q falling makes it very unlikely that he has a Q, and he knows that it's very unlikely you have a Q. Therefore since you bet the flop he would expect you to bet the turn thinking you still have the best hand (since the 3rd Q doesn't change the status of your hand, it either keeps you with the best hand or keeps you with the worst hand).

Personally I don't see him bluff betting here unless he's a betting monkey like that.

Just keep on betting. I think he will call the turn and to some extent also the river with alot of crap. If he actually decides to bet and you get your c/r i think you also risk losing an A-high calldown.
