What I think I should have done/why I checked:
1) Raise PF.
2) When he peels this flop, I have him on Qx, KT/T9, Jx, QJ/22, with Qx being his most likely hand and QJ/22 being his least likely hands. The turn completes one of his draws, and must be pretty scary for him to call another decent sized bet with Qx/Jx. I check, hoping to induce bets from precisely those hands. If he bets big on the turn and river, I'll have a decision to make imo.

I fire again on the turn. Make it around $6. You'll close down the hand, or get raised. I think I call a min-raise and re-eval on the river. Mostly though, I don't think you want to see another card -- it's just going to bring more worries. See if the slight overbet shuts it down.

fold pre flop, bet turn.

Wow. Like, never.

raise preflop, raise flop, raise turn, raise river.


the villain is unlikely to have limped with QQ,JJ, AQ, AJ, the only hands you have to worry about is KT and 22. If you get reraised, slow down and just check/call.
