Don't see much point to c/c turn. Flop you get nice implied odds for cheep and he will often give you 2 cards. But if turn bricks and he keeps firing all of that goes out the window.

Disagree.

1. Horrible implied odds.
2. Not cheap, he overbet pot.
3. We have no reason to believe he'll often give us a free turn card.

In fairness, I was sort of expecting that his hand does not always have a Q in it. Based on the previous hand, I was figuring him for an underpair -- that's why I thought I'd have some folding equity on the turn. If he had 88-JJ, that 4 was a GREAT bluff card for me. Maybe he smooth-calls the flop checkraise because he can't bring himself to believe that his beautiful little underpair is actually beaten; when the turn bricks and I continue betting strongly, he can finally talk himself into folding his JJ. I figured that if he didn't have a Q he was folding to this turn bet, and that if he DOES have a Q I've still got a 1-in-5 chance of winning on the river. If he folds to this turn bet just 1/3rd of the time, it's an EV-neutral proposition. Am I REALLY overstating things to think he'll dump it at least that often?

But, based upon that previous hand, if he has a hand like TT isn't he checking behind the turn if you just call his flop bet?

That's always a possibility, and at that point I take my two rolls of the dice with my eight-outer. However, isn't it better to try to steal the hand instead? I STILL get my eight outs twice, but I ALSO get folding equity.

Seriously, I ALWAYS misjudge folding equity. It seems that people change their calling ranges VERY abruptly, and for reasons I can't seem to fathom.

Serious question: How strongly should Hero consider folding flop to the overbet?

I think the 4 at the turn makes the fold equity worse. Suitedconnectors seems to loose value OOP against callingstations since they hit draws alot more often than nuts.

his calling range on the flop is pretty much his calling range on the turn.

or in other words: you're getting called

I guess this is a big of a blanket statement, but most 35/12's are donkeys, and I hate bluffing donkeys cuz they don't get why folding marginal hands is important. Which is also why I fold this pf, of if I had 56s, I would c/c flop or lead flop. I really hate a c/r here vs a monkey just cuz they don't understand why folding marginal hands is so important.
