Beginner Strategy
Says I should cbet 2/3 on the flop, and check fold on the turn

My adjustment
PREFLOP
I think on Q9Xs board hands like KJs KTs, TJs even AT AJ will want to peel a lot against me, so I don't think I fold out much when I cbet and as there is no good card for me besides a 7 really I would have to check fold all turns - so giving up seems better here?
TURN
when he checks his likely holdings should be weak Qx, AX, pocket pairs - does it make sense to bet this size simply to protect my hand, get some value from draws, and fold when I get raised?

I don't think there's any need to 4x pre.

Turn bet is pretty thin. Agree that there are plenty of draws that can call, but the problem is that if you bet turn and get called, what's your plan on a blank river?

We would be betting Qx on flop, so when another Q falls on turn our bet is really thin.

How does a bet that size protect your hand?

I don't like the game plan. We can never represent a Q by betting turn, but villain can easily represent a Q. (I think I'd often both check back flop and bluff raise turn if I was in BU's shoes. The betting pattern doesn't add up.)

3bb pre is better on 6-max IMO.

Post-flop, people before me have made nice comments already. You represent nothing on turn, and if you bet/call here, you are totally lost on river. Check-calling could be better option to induce some bluffs.

Yeah, on this board i would check Flop , Turn and River. If he bets the river, i would decide if i call depending his betsize.

I think betting for protection is fine and checking down is also fine.

People don't exploit perceived and capped ranges that much on NL5.
Betting turn against a good regular on NL50 would be a bad play.
