I don't know or the flop is a c-bet. It really hits his range hard.

In the hand, I think I prefer to bet the turn. And c/f then most rivers. In general, you should be ahead of his range, but there are so many ugly rivers you don't know what to do. For example against what are you value betting the river. You even don't beat any Ax. I think it is probably even just a c/f this river. Even without the bet on the turn.

Villains line is indicating a marginal made hand or broken draw I think, we are beating a pair of queens or tens and a small amount of aces. My flop bet I was thinking about bluffing the turn if we didnt get the pair of aces on the turn. I think I checked turn because KJ gets there and board is still scary, trying to get to s river without bloating pot oop possibly since we have a showdown value hand now.

Which turns do you want to bluff? Clubs make sense. But outside that don't see that many good barrel cards.

Turn: Against draws, you only got value on the turn right? Or maybe against weak value hands-on blank rivers(which this J clearly is not)

River: how many Qx hands in his range are you beating? AQ/KQ/QJ/QT have you all beat. Tx all the same. Only T9 is more likely in his range than Q9.

The only thing I can tell you is that it's a fold pre-flop being UTG position.

Opening UTG I am fine with, I don’t think I am c betting the flop, cause you did I would be unwilling to double barrel if an A comes on turn…. You have a double gutter back door,

I think I rather a check then a bet when you pick up equity and possible a river bet.
