Folding QQQ

Preflop : That guy plays almost 50% of his hands, he doesn´t care if you raise to 2bb, 3bb or 4bb, if he likes the colour of his hand he will call anyway.

Flop : Makes no sense what you are saying. Of course you want to cbet here because : 1 the guy is fishy and will call you with much worse hands than yours and 2 you dont want to give him a free card when there are 2 diamonds there.

Preflop : If you make rise, make it 4BB. Personally i will not play from UTG with QJs.
Post Flop : C-Bet.
Turn in this situation call.
River call as well. It looks like bluff.

I always open smaller against these shorter stack players. Still room enough to get it all in when needed.

I missed the flop and my idea of a c-bet bluff is a folding opponent but I did put him on 'not folding'.
I have Q high (2 overs and a backdoor straight). I still have some showdown value and I am in position, he can have anything :).
I do not think it's that bad of a play to check the flop here.

But I'm curious what others think.

You are focused on the short stacked BB but you still have 4 other people to go through, they All appear to be capable of 3betting so I don’t like a min raise from UTG, should be at least 3bb if not 3.5 or 4. You can reduce your open sizes as your position improves but at the micros, opens dont really need to ever get smaller than 2.5x.

C betting here all day....his range can be HUGE in BB vs. min open. There are tons of lower flush draws that can call......there are better hands that will fold.......you can barrel a Q or J turn.

this looks a lot like max value vs QX with a flush or a boat. I don't mind the fold unless you think he's bluffy (45/8 is indicative of someone who's passive)
