QQ, reraised pot and oop.

Villain is 26/5. Don't know much about him (don't play these games much). I donkbet the flop to see where I am at, because I don't feel comfortable check/calling what might be a c-bet in a pot thats already worth winning.

Once he calls, do I check the turn? Or do I put him on TT/JJ and bet the turn? Given the preflop and flop action, 99-JJ seem to make up the vast majority of his range. I figure since there are more combinations of JJ and TT than of 99, the turn is worth betting. Thoughts?

If you are really willing to put $140 into this pot, I like to CR flop & put him to the test.
As played I would check/fold turn to any man sized bet.

If his pfr % is only 5 then he has AA/KK/QQ/AK here (most likely AA/KK). I think check calling is better here (flop and turn) than leading. I would weakly fold to a double barrel if it's large enough. Sucks to fold on such an innocent board but his preflop range is tiny.

Realize that his opponent isn't the reraiser here. So his 5% is not aa-qq/ak. He could easily have TT/JJ here and AQcc/AKcc. I would probably bet the turn here as well because he'd likely put in another bet preflop with AA/KK with a caller of the reraise. Sometimes you're folding out TT/JJ but maybe not the flush draws with overcards so I think it's a good bet.

Fold preflop.

I think its impossible to put him on AA/KK here ever.

Why? I'd rather c/r the turn than c/f the turn. The reason being he could bet TT/JJ here but when he bets he'll never fold because the pot is to big. I think we have his range beat here which I agree with Renton is 99-JJ.

His flop play is scary (calling a lead before pfr), so I think it's a set or AA/KK a lot. So c/f is fine by me. Push most rivers if it's checked through.

I only semi agree with this. Your hand is very transparent but then noones really looking still.

Id check the turn.

against such a passive player i think its AA/KK more than the rest

I think gabe's advice here is the best.
