NL16 SH Zoom QQ Squeezing

I agree that is a bad flop for us, but why not taking the initiative ourself and b/f to a raise and give up on the turn if get called. I agree you dont get called by worst but by checking you show some weekness . I think i would have played the same maybe betting half the flop myself though, and c/f the turn. I am not sure though.

lol, If you do not bet this flop, what flop are you betting? Qxx only?

According to w34z3l's Walktrough series, good 2nd pair in 3bet pot as a preflop aggressor is a standard flop check/call on dry boards and bet only against floaters. I also saw some hands here where the guys were told to do the same in similar situations. In this situation I'm betting my overpair always, which I will have on most of the flops.

I hope you make the difference between 3 bet pot and squeezed pot.
In squeeze pot you c bet this flop.

Not sure I understand the logic behind. Why 2nd pair is strong enough (or weak enough) to cbet in squeezed pot, but not in 3bet pots? To me, flatting ranges in squeezed pots are stronger than in 3bet pots. As terminology is concerned, squeeze is a 3bet, too. In this particular case, since the CO's raise size was so small, I believe there is even not such a big difference between BTN's flatting range in pure 3bet pots and squeezed pots.

As played it seems to me BTN is playing set mine. I doubt he has Kx here.
