C-Bet here?

[Pitbullo]

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) pokerhand.org hand converter
My thought is: If I cbet and he has an ace he will call anyway and if he hasn´t got one he will fold anyway.
So could checking this flop be better than betting?

Hero ($112.70)
BB ($62.20)
UTG ($156.25)
MP ($63)
CO ($125)
Button ($79)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $1, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $1, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $7</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP folds, Button calls $6.

Flop: ($16) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $10</font>, Button folds.

C-Bet is pretty standard here.

board is dry, i dont hate giving a free card here. Or c/c'ing.

you are never going to win a huge pot here either way and by checking you need to open up your calling range if he bets.

fwiw, i usually cb.

if you were in position checking would be a lot better (than checking oop)

I think there are more than just two scenarios here by C-betting. You are saying that an ace calls or raises, and any hand you might get value from folds, thus there is no reason to put money into the pot. However, the best reason to c-bet here to avoid a bluff taking down the pot. Hands without aces should bet here often to your flop check.

so if you check in position you would still call any bet from villain on turn right? does get tricky if he fires on river, he can bluff us out with a worse hand. but i guess reads on villain will help making the decision.

i don't mind calling two streets here. clearly it depends on the player but being in position means i get to wipe out one street of value if i so choose which is really important in this type of spot
