Ok this guy is 25/14 on a 36 hand sample…Only action I had with this guy is BvB, I had 38 BBs I raised with 77 and he insta shoved. From then on he has been kinda quiet. He has only 3bet twice and he folds to c-bets 34% of the time.
First is there anything I did wrong? If so what could I do?
Is my turn action ok? The check and the fold? I was thinking do I really give him credit for the Q? Is he floating the flop b/c its paired and low?

I think you played everything ok. I can't really see a 5 or a 3 in his range so your preflop raise and C-bet were good. He may be holding a pocket pai, which would have you beat. I think I would have played the turn the same way, perhaps if you had a better pocket pair I would have fired again and not let the Queen scare me but I agree with your check-fold in the end. I am curious to see others' opinions I find myself in this spot sometimes with 22,33,44 and I think I play to weak.
"Your either in Sheen's Korner or your with the trolls."
Yeah I don't think you could have played it much different. You bet a little over half pot on the flop which he prob. floats with any pair or two overs. The Q is likely in his range but even if he doesn't have it (bluffing because you checked) there is nothing you can really do with an underpair here except fold. Small pairs are weak and out of position they are hard to continue with when the board has 3, 4, or 5 overcards and you haven't hit a set.
Another note is that he only folds to a c-bet 34% which seems kind of low (correct me if I'm wrong) so you know he is calling your c-bet ~66% of the time, which would probably cause me to check that flop even though it likely missed him.

Yeah my original plan was to c-bet the flop…and if no paint came, I was gonna fire another…but then again this was over a 36 hand sample, and I'm guessing that F-Cbet % was for about 8 to 10 hands.
I just hate small pairs OOP. I mean I gotta open there but here is a good question: Is it good or bad to fire another bullet? too spewy?
