$10 NL HE Full Ring: QQ in tough turn spot

Villain in question hasn't played a hand yet at the table over 18 hands. I'm fine with everything on the flop I think but when the turn hit I think I'm done in with something like A/Ks etc. Our OOP doesn't help. How should we be playing this turn. Bet/Fold seems like betting for the sake of it, Bet/calling seems worse. Are we c/c or just c/f 'ing this hand?? :confused:

You're gonna get complaints about too low a PFR with the three limpers.

I am not terribly scared of this turn.

What would he be calling your flop bet with under these circumstances? 9T? AQ+?

Bet 1/2-2/3 pot. Then re-evaluate.

Bef/fold the turn. By checking here you'll miss value from straight and flush draws, Jx, etc. The king on the turn shouldn't connect with him much unless he has a flush draw with a king in it or something like kj, k8.

Ditto
and raise more preflop.
7xBB's should do.
For each limper add a BB to whatever you would normally raise.

On the turn, bet. Your hand is best most of the time. He is very tight and probably aggressive.

He would usually reraise AK, AA and KK preflop so there aren't that many Ks in his range.

He has most likely hit the J with AJ, QJ,JT, KJ or has a pair like TT 99 or some overcards like AQ

He could hold a K but more often he wont.

Being as the K may scare him too I might check call it.

By checking he may bluff at it, by betting you may scare him of a hand like TT
