I would have check-raised the flop.

When he calls, and you lead this Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] turn, did you buy fold equity to his raise? If not, then I'm not sure scaring over cards with a c/r on the flop works when an overcard you're trying to scare does hit .. at least I don't understand it yet. Maybe you don't lead a A/K/Q turn?

The reason for check-raising the turn is to increase fold equity on the turn. Villains generally have an easier time getting away from missed overcard hands where they've been check-raised as opposed to hands where they've been donked.

I would go ahead and lead regardless of the turn card (he can't have all of A, K, and Q, so one of them must be a safe card!). If he raises the turn I can call and check-fold the river comfortably (assuming I don't improve).
