I bet this way with unpaired hands to make them fold all the time, which makes me wonder WTF I'm supposed to be doing here with queens vs. somewhat competent players?

I don't think doubling air on this board is going to be that profitable vs most people. This is also a type of board I will not cbet (with air) all the time vs every opponent. Some reads on villain might be nice but as unknown a fold as played seems fine.

i think we always have to fold given villains line, i guess i'm just wondering if i always check turn here or if b/f is better

basically always bet this flop with air agaist not crazy loose opponents.

As for turn, this is a definite bet. And i'd also fold to the buttons turn raise. Everything was played fine.

if you dont bet/fold this turn, it is questionable whether you should drink cocktails on thursday afternoons. literally.

I have to bet here, but I feel like good players will know I have to fold almost all my range in this spot if they raise, is there no counter

vs. a good aggro opponent, is this a felt?

How often do you think villain is bluffing here?

When someone who's not completely insane raises in this spot, he is never bluffing.
You just double barreled on a wet board into 2 opponents (one of which is a shortstack) and villain still raised you.
This is one of the best examples of a bet/fold that I've ever seen.

last night I got obsessed with floating and making OR fold so I got all paranoid ppl were making moves on me that I might make on them

now this just seems std after paranoia worn off

i like stacking off on this turn

cuz if they slowplayed a set on that flop i ship the moniez

57 imo...

I don't think he's bluffing here. There is still another player in the pot (shorty), and you've shown a lot of strength.

like others have said, b/f is good here.
