Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Qc Qd (one pair, queens).
MP3 has 3h Ah (high card, ace).
Button has Ts Th (one pair, tens).
Outcome: Hero wins t922.50. </font>

No reads, 4th or 5th hand of the game.

This was my game plan on the flop:
1) Shove if no A or K shows up
2) ~80 bet if an overcard came and shut it down if I get called or raised.

So, my questions are:
1) if the flop are all undercards, if shoving 700+ plus chips optimal or try to extract chips by making 1/2-full pot size bet?

2) If an overcard appears on the flop, still go ahead and make an exploratory bet and shutdown or check fold if we don't have any reads?

Thanks.
