Bet full pot on the flop, bottom two needs protection, and I do think you're ahead. I'd lead turn?

Reraise flop. You need to get the money in there fast with bottom two before he can improve.
I also like an initial bet of at least $1.50 on the flop but it's not a huge deal, I guess.
As played, raise the turn to $18-20 unless you have a good read that suggests set or crappy straight.

Villain has A4? 46? Seems unlikely. Set is possible, but I'm going to the mat with this hand on this board. Our hand is too well disguised. I agree with the advice in this post though: at least 1.5 on the flop, then reraise hard when he minraises.

As played, do as this guy says and pop it to 18-20 on the turn with intention of gettin git in. he thinks he's good with his Q, and you're going to make him pay.

Reraise the flop.

Lead the turn.

Usually, you cannot play bottom 2 too fast.

3-bet CO and his short stack AI.
