QQ seems a little too strong to play bluff catcher. At the same time, you look really strong barreling one of the worse cards in the deck on the Turn. The turn doesn't bring any new draws and double pairs the board so you can't have much of a bluffing range. I think I like your play since it allows him to bluff with his floats and also possibly turn something like 55 into a bluff.

Hello Tomaloc,

Preflop: From UTG raise it bigger...
Postflop: You made a really weak raise preflop so I'd include all kind of 7x hands into his range and maybe even gappers. So I am not a huge fan of turning my hand into unknown opponent in those spots and rather Bet myself instead.

He is going to pay you at least one street anyways on the turn as well if he is some kind of PP type of hand cause we are also barreling Ace high there.

Best Regards.
