I did not bet here, thinking that if I get c/r by Ax hands, I'm going to hate to continue.
OTOH, I often will CBet A-High boards, if I think small PPs are a large part of his range. I can't remember the real reason I didn't CBet here.
Turn: ($1.06) Q:s (2 players)
MP bets $0.67, Hero raises to $3.02, MP folds
Villain has WTSD 29% -- perhaps a smaller raise would be better?
If so, what would be a better raise size?
I had assumed he had a reasonable A to be betting, even A4, A9 or AQ
A higher PP is also a strong possibility, but not likely to go broke with.
44 & 99 are also in the realm of possibility, but I would have expected him to call the shove with those.
