BB is a fish and a half, and probably just peeling on the flop with god-knows-what. PFR is 30.7/7.61 but plays passively postflop.
With only ~5k hands under my belt, i'm still getting a feel for these situations. This feels a little spew-ish. Is this standard, or should I find the muck preflop?

Against someone with a PFR of 8 I let it go preflop.

I also don't bet the turn with only overcards here. I would use my position and take a free card. We need to improve, we don't want a free showdown. The pot is getting pretty big and enough went in preflop that I think you very very rarely take it down with a turn bet, definitely not enough to make it worth betting.

To a 7% pfr I am mucking this preflop.
Maybe a little weak but I think I check behind on the turn there and fold to any river bet unless I pair up.

Yeah, you're probably right. Thinking about it further, the ~30/7 stats suggest that there isn't much larceny in this players' heart.

Against a typical 27/18 TAGish type, I think this would be a more standard play. Your positional advantage combines with his likely range of hands to create a lot better situation.

Against someone who raises less than 8% preflop this is a very very easy fold preflop. I would fold this preflop against a TAG (someone who raises 15-20% preflop). In that situation is it not as clear as against this "non-stealer", but QJs is not really that good HU.
