The question shouldnt be should i bluff here or not,though what u have to ask yourself is , how wide should your bluffing range be?

I actually think turning your hand into a bluff is good here, i think the top of villians range here is probably Qx and i do believe they v will fold these on this run out. though , i think your sizing is to big , i reckon we can go smaller here around 2k ish IMO espically vs better players.

well played btw 🙂

@foucault , in the back of my mind i was thinking bet flop, though given that we are IP , i thought backloading our value would be better here? so we can get more information about our hand,  though the board is pretty wet, so i think we can still get value from FDs and maybe straight draws and from Tx.

frontloading our value has more merit overall.

I've not watched your range construction series but I will do, sounds good!

Yeah when v bets turn that don't give me hardly any information at all , you're right. So basically by checking back flop , we're pretty much capping our range, hero will very rarely have anything better then a Queen so that allows villian to value bet wider and also make life very difficult for us by the time we get to the river.

may i ask though , if the flop was 3 Q T (rainbow) i'd actually want to backload our value , would that be okay? i'd check back for pot control and maybe induce a bluff from villian on the turn. 

Though betting flop would be okay as well even on that rainbow flop , we could get value from weaker Tx maybe A3o or maybe pairs small to medium pairs , if called we can check back turn and re-evaluate river? Also i must add i'd be more inclined to bet turn if say the turn brings any draws like 6 if called we can check back river. If villian leads river whether we call or not  that'll just depend on the odds we're getting and how often we have to call to make villian indifferent to bluffing.
