Why I didn't 4bet? Cause we had no 3bet history whatsoever so he would only call/raise me with a better hand.

I was 75% sure he had queens here, aces on such a board he would bet.
I checked the flop cause there was no chance he could outdraw me and if I check here I can maybe convince him I have jacks.

Turn check was a tough decision. I mean if he didnt have the queen of clubs he wouldnt call, and if I check here again he maybe convinced I have jacks without a club.

What u guys think?

I would bet flop
he might have TT-QQ, AQc and decide to check/call
if QQ-TT has a club, then you will have big enough pot to put him in
if he doesn't have a club, then he is often folding :club: turn, but could call a flop bet

Don't like check behind on turn though
we have no reasons to be sure that he bets the river
betting the turn will work great against some opponents

I reraise preflop. I don't think its a good reason that you don't have a 3-bet history - if he's very very nitty, that would be a reason, but he has to 3-bet you the first time if there's no history and that doesn't mean its a monster. Further, if you can fold out pairs like 99-QQ - its great.

Bet flop. Do you really think he c/f a hand on the flop, but makes a move later? If he has QQ - in 50% he has the Q:c and will often raise you all-in which would be awesome...
