Default Re: QQ out of position on a rag flop

I think check-raise turn is far better than check-call turn.

Look at it this way, if he's on one pair or a draw I think a check-raise is far superior. The advantage to check-calling I see is catching a river bluff, and I don't think people are going to bluff you much after you called the turn OOP, that shows some strength.

Suppose you check turn, he bets, and you know he's got AT. What would you do?

C/R the turn here is a great way to win the least when you are ahead and lose the max when you are behind. Villain will just laydown worse hands and stack you with better hands. Furthermore, you have no idea how strong he is so you are basically betting your stack in the dark (meaning with no information about villain's range)
