Final Pot: t2095
I realize that for value purposes i should probably bet the Qs on the flop. I usually would in this situation, but it seemed like a good line would be to:
Check after him on the flop, with "uncertainty".
If he checks the turn again, make a bet that looks to be a steal and see if i can induce a bluff raise. Or if he bets into me on the turn, raise it there. In limit, i almost always bet this flop, but with NL is it wrong to think that you can make up for those bets later?
On the flop i also considered the flush draw, as well as the possible open ended, but dismissed the open ended knowing i would have had 2 of his 8 outs.
I'm grateful for any help in this situation.
