Default 200NL: QJs turn decision with top pair + open-ended

villan is 16/9/1 over 45 hands

I been playing be quite active and aggressive at the table so far and this is the first time I facing a reraise preflop from villan. I getting over 1/4 on his mini raise preflop so I recon that's a easy call but his reraise mostly means big pairs or AK. Flopping top pair and I don't want to let the hand go yet I calling and hoping that the turn goes check check. On turn I pick up and open-ended as well and I decide to check raise all, maybe I should have taking the lead here... Don't know if the check raise all in was a good play since I guess my FE is to low and that I'm still a underdog to the majority of his holdings.

i dont think he has AK here a lot after his turn bet... given his tight/passive-ish stats.. his turn bet is pretty committing so i don't think u have much FE at all..i think i call here since i think u'll stack him if u hit..

really like that play a lot, not just because you're probably behind; but also because in all likelyhood he's probably got some hand he sees as a total monster, and folding will make him dissapointed with the small pot he wins, and possibility get him slightly on tilt...
