Is this a $100NL Bluff?

This CR seems to be a bit too much to me. It just seems to me if he flopped trips that he would wait for the turn? Does this smell like a CR bluff to anyone? Villain is LAG, but I have not seen him CR yet and his post flop aggression has been minimal.

you're kidding right? that screams Q a mile away.

Well initially that's what I thought. That's why I folded! But after I got to thinking about it...if he had the Q, why wouldn't he wait to pop the turn? Worried about draws? It just seems too drastic for a big hand heads up.

I just started playing NL, so I thought this may be some sort of thing that happens quite a bit. Maybe its just me...it just seemed strange.

That's a really bad hand to get 10% of your stack in preflop with.

Screams Queens to me. If he's truely a LAG, then he can visualize someone playing some pretty Crappy clubs there along with some other weak draws.(What kind of read does he have on you?) He wants to shut the action down while he's best.
