Hi,
I had only 30 hands on villain and he was 28/16. How do I play this? Better to just x/c?

no i prefer betting these spots over c/c but not 100% for sure, i guess the best way to "randomise" between c/c and betting would be by the guys bet vs missed cBet% but 90bbs deep i much prefer to bet. For a combination of protecting your equity and value.
WHen he clicks it idk lol I guess just folding and avoiding a troublesome hand has some merit, this looks like the making of one of those very tilting hands where you call here, c/c $15 on the turn and then the river goes chk/chk and he shows you Q9 lol - I think I'd be much more inclined to call a bigger bet.
wowow!
why are we leading here again? we didnt 3b pre right?
leading here looks like a big exploit here imo. why would we prevent villain from cbetting this flop?
very interested in why you think leading is good here.
oh wow I was sure we were the PF opener when I posted above.
Yeah check/call seems ultimately stnd without very good reason to do otherwise. His minraise is still weird but still not a fan of leading this flop at all, we have very poor visibility, as in on various turn/river cards all we'll have is a hand we ca bluff catch with and he'll bee able to valuebet and buff almost perfectly vs us whilst we're left with guesswork.
Chk/call for me.
Should read the HH's more carefully lol
leading on dry boards is a terrible play. Pretty standard to c/c when we know that villain's standard play is to make a c-bet.
Thanks for the comments people. I was trying this out because I just don't like to c/c. Turn and river are difficult for me then.
So I guess based on the overall aggression and 2barreling/3barreling stats, we decide whether to call down or not?
I think that whereas it is the "stnd" chk/call just works much nicer here as even tho we rep the exact hand strength we have it leaves us way less open to being exploited than by getting.
The best way to get any value here will be form his Cbet, we also have Qx's in our range so it's hard to get barrelled off too much.
If you dont like x/c with this hand in this spot, then 3 bet pre and bet/fold is a line you could take.
If he calls the flop, you have two options, x/f (say on a 
or broadway turn card) or bet turn jam river. Do not bet turn and then x/fold river, you must jam any river card if you bet the turn taking this line.
Against unknowns I prefer to have them make the decisions. A percentage of the time you will stack off to a random Qx but more often than not you will win the pot when villain gives up and folds.
