I like this.

Do you think he could push a busted draw? 67d?

If he happens to have AA/KK he shouldn't turn his hand into a bluff when he has showdown value.

I think it's a Q most of the time, maybe a bluff a very small % of the time.

what exactly?

I advocate never donk betting the flop against a TAG. He's going to cbet this flop most of the time, so go for a standard check/raise ~$40. I don't like checking the turn, as villain could check behind with a queen, trying to conceal his hand in a poor fashion. Bet $70 on the turn: you definitely get him all in if he has a queen, and you fold out all worse hands that he wouldn't play for stacks as a bluff on the river anyway. Your flop line messed it up by allowing to go to the river cheaply. (a donk bet messes everything up 90% of the time, anyway. it's high time you learned it)
As played it's an obvious fold.

My thinking was, that on a flop this dry, a c/r pretty much gives your hand away more than anything else and a decent player might get away from TP or OP here.

If you're going to call something '[censored] terrible', you might care to elaborate.

IMO this hand is played perfectly.

[CCx]

Folding is fine here, I like a check-raise on the flop though.

[terp]

bet a bit more on flop turn. if you're going to control the betting, make sure more goes in!

river is perfect.

I would have played this exactly the same. At times I think CRing a set is the way to go but you have to be pretty damn sure that the villain is going to bet which is likely but not a sure thing. Also a CR will show a lot of strenght and may let the villain get off the hand cheaply on the flop where we are presumably huge favourites.
