I'm a little unsure of what to do when i have say i have JJ and raised preflop with one caller (let's say an unknown zoom player at 10nl) and i'm OOP. flop comes Q52 should i bet or check/call? and if i check/call will i be check/calling or check/folding on a blank turn? what about on the turn if i bet?
the reason i posted this is because i hear two different arguments. some say check since "it's hard to get value from worse by betting", others suggest betting when OOP since "checking turns your hand face up" with their reasoning being your checking range is going to be "at best top pair with a weak kicker" and so a good opponent can just blast you off your hand. so "betting makes the hand easier to play"
so which argument has more weight to it at the micros? and also if you have a more vulnerable 2nd pair hand like 67s on T72 should that lean the argument even more towards betting since so many bad cards can come? and what about third pair type hands?
