Default 88 OOP, like/dislike?

Ive been Cbetting pretty much all the time and mostly giving up on turn, in this case I could easiliy rep AQ/KQ so I get some FE from >99. Vilain is 18/10 over a small sample but isnt that good and pretty predictable.. He's bet seemed pretty weak on the turn...how many of you bet this turn, I see so many disadvantages to this...

No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
6 players

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $8</font>, 2 folds, Button calls, 2 folds.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($19, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $14</font>, Button calls.

85% pot is pretty weak? I will do this sometimes if the guy has been floating me.. or I just think he is full of [censored]. An 18/10 isn't going to be calling that flop with a random Q I wouldn't think.. he's also not going to show up with AA or KK or QQ.. He's also not going to have a 2 like ever.. so really the only hand you can't make fold is 77 or if he somehow just smooth called u with QQ or AQ. Your check raise "probably" makes 99-JJ fold so I think it's pretty sexy.

the only hands he will call with are AA KK QQ 77 or maybe AQ.

question is if he will reraise his high pockets or just smooth calls with them.

It is a risky play IMO, especially because villain is tight To give an opinion if it is a good move i would like to know if you are deep stacked. If not i dont like it but if you still have more then 200 behind i think it is a strong move.

at this level, against this vilain I think you can really tell strength from betsizes. I think he was ready to pick it up with a good sized turnbet bc he assumed I had air. If he'd bet something near 1/2 pot I prob would have folded... I know it's not a lock or anything but at 1/2nl these big turnbets IP after showing weakness by OR are ususaly pretty weak

Some people play the [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] flush this way. But that is quite rare and his bet would be way to big...
