No reads on this guy. I figured a Q would wait till the turn to CR.

No way would I fold on the flop. You have to see showdown here against all but the most passive opponents.

Homer, can you elaborate a little on this?

I think you are right when you say a Queen would wait until the turn to check raise most of the time. Well played. When he checkraised you, it was headsup, guys will try all sorts of things and, at limit holdem, your biggish pairs are usually a through ticket to a showdown.

[Homer]

Most low-limit players will wait until the turn to raise with trip Queens, especially in this situation since it is heads-up. Your opponent will have a 2, a small-medium pocket pair, a flush draw or be on a stone cold bluff most of the time.

A question for you: What percentage of the time do you think your opponent will have trip Queens in this situation?
