Spoiler

$0.82 pot ($0.05 rake)
Final Board: K♣: 7♠: A♠:
Hero mucked Q♠: Q♦: and lost (-$0.40 net)
BTN mucked and won $0.77 ($0.37 net)

No stats on the villain.
This flop should hit my 3-bet range more than his range of button openraise/call. Thus I c-bet, transforming my QQ into bluff.
Should I fold on his raise, or call once in case he has a draw, and then reevaluate on the turn?
Or check-call the flop?
Or even check/fold (looks too tight though)

Thank you
Denys

Cbetting seems fine, but calling a raise would be nasty. I don’t think that will be profitable, because even if he has a draw it’s tough to win with 3rd pair on turn or river and with a backdoor flush draw and 2 outs for a set a call it’s losing money on long run I think against an unknown.

Thanks
And is their an option to check/call the flop and hope to have a free showdown?

The question is, if he doesn't have A or K, i almost always have the better hand, but won't be paid by anything weaker.
However Cbet may still be necessary to protect vs draws, right?

Even that will be tough, but you can indeed check/call the flop and if he’s firing again on turn or river you need to fold for sure. Off course it’s always the question if he will bet the flop with less than a king or ace. If that isn’t the case I would check/fold. Even feels that tight, but I wouldn’t be surprised a random NL2 player isn’t bluffing to often post-flop.

Easy fold after being raised but you might even consider x/f

The worst board for queens. I would simple give up the hand (x/f) and move on
