QQ against a shorty

Dont know anything about him. Figure he sucks because he's short and he called my preflop overbet (which is why i looove it) but the A is a horrible card and he has no money behind. I figure its best to let him bluff at it because he aint calling an AI without an A or better I assume.

I play the flop the same against a shortie, but I usually bet the turn when checked too.

bet the turn yo

why?

Because you have a pair of queens.

never bet river. Bet turn for value.

I just push flop if you're not folding to an AI. If you're willing to get all the $$ in on his terms, then be done with the hand on the flop. He may call with a couple of draws or just a pair. Why pay him off if he sucks out on you later on?

I don't like pushing flop without a read he calls with worse.

betting the turn could get a call from a draw or worse pair, after you repped a bad flop, or a slowplay. less value to betting the river though.
