Hero bets how much?

---

I'm pretty confident that cbetting here almost every time is the most +EV (if you disagree please post why [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]), but how much do you find to be ideal? I suppose pokerstove would be good for this, but I find that the queen makes up a huge portion of the villain's range and I end up getting pushed off of it pretty commonly.

What do you consider to be ideal for a cbet here? My normal cbet is either 2/3, 3/4, or 5/6. I almost always do 5/6 on this hand because it makes it difficult to come over the top, and it seems to me that unlike later in the hand, big flop bets tend to represent strong hands rather than weaker ones.

very dry flop. 2/3 will pick it up just about as often as 3/4 or 5/6. so diminishing returns with increasing c-bet size here imho.

probably 15 - 17 bucks

I bet 15 and shut down unless an A or K comes.

But my preflop reraise is to 10, not 11. I guess I'd bet 17 instead.

1/2 to 2/3 of the pot is fine .
