I don't do it always for example if both blinds are really lose, but BB in this hand had a 25 VPIP and 75 fold bb to steal. plus SB isn't very loose. If BB doesn't overdefend it's pretty standard for me.

Just incase you missed the post or never considered it. When blind stealing consider SB's defense stats. if he calls, he gives better odds for Mr Q2s to call for his flush.

I think you're play is good, You'll often scare a weak queen into checking to you or he will be strong and raise. Of course i'd want a better read Vs this guy though as his aggression is pretty high so he may bluff bet the river?

If he bluffs, i may not raise this and just call down to induce the bluffs.

Also you say for a free showdown, Well if he calls you... Are you not value betting the river when checked too?(I.e. "i dont have a queen", or do you fear a PP?)


Sounds like you had ok read on the blinds to raise this, I'd fold unless a solid SB/BB (and players behind me).
Thanks.
