I'm playing $50 NL cash game (6 max) on Absolute. I'm dealt QQ preflop and raise to $1.75 (enough to get one caller) from UTG. I get called by the button and everyone else folds.Flop: J-7-3 rainbowI bet $3, he calls My read on this guy was that he didn't have anything. He tends to bet/raise the minimum when he's drawing (I took $40 off of him because he'd call my raises and miss), but I've never been out of position against him. Turn: AI'm first to act, what do I do? If I bet and am raised, what do I do? Thanks for the help.Edit - I do believe there's a good possibility he has an A. If he does, I doubt he's going to give it up, even if he has a low kicker.

You've got to bet the turn and give it up if raised. If he just calls, bet the river. An alternate, riskier line is to check-raise the turn. This would be appropriate if the player frequently takes a stab at pots from late positions. If your check raise is called, you should probably check the river and call only a small bet.
