Someone from early position raised and I 3-bet on the button with A8s, he calls and we go to the flop. If for instance the flop is Q28 rainbow, should I c-bet this flop with A8s or is it better to check?

How should you think in general about c-betting the flop when there was a 3-bet preflop compared to when no 3-bet occured preflop? Suppose you have position in both cases and you were the preflop agressor. Should you check more often if you miss when someone called you 3-bet preflop?

I think I should be more inclined to check when he called my 3-bet preflop since he have a stronger range and there is a Q on the flop. It is likely he has AQ.

With BDFD it should be fine to cbet imo, but this board hits his preflop range quite well, so checking migh be better. Generally, Q-high boards are considered to be bad for bluff cbetting in 3bet pots. There are some differencies between single raised pots and 3bet pots. For example, low boards are considered very good for bluff cbets in 3bet pots because they rarelly hit a caller's range. High boards are not that good for bluffing. Also, we will generally need more equity to cbet bluff in 3bet pots and thus cbet less in 3bet pots than in single raised pots. At micros, I think cbet of something like 55% in 3bet pots would the best, while in single raised pots we can cbet 65-70%.

You hit a second pair in dry board, you're gonna be perceived as a bluffer good junk of the time. Cbet is more than required or delayed one on the turn.

The main thing is that the board is dry Qxx. You should attack like always Axx, Kxx, Qxx dry boards.
