I don't get it Why did you wait till a card that could definitely hurt you hit before you bet?

4 bet preflop, PLEASE! At 5nl, for ~120bbs, not stacking off with Queens preflop is almost criminal

Unless the villain has TT, what do you beat that he 3-bets preflop? JJ, KK, AA, AK all beat you. Raise the flop to find out where you're at.
By checking the flop, you put yourself in a position where you have to bet the turn otherwise you won't know where you are at (if you check the turn you will almost certainly face a river bet, which will reveal nothing about his hand).

5 handed play and low limits both open a person's 3 bet range a lot,, I think a 4-bet is a good idea. On the flop I think you should put in a decent raise, he's going to stack off with AJ or a FD.

If I've learned one thing from this forum its that you never bet to "find out where you're at". You bet to fold a better hand or get value from a worse one, betting for info is a donk idea.

So basically, raise the flop and check behind the turn, for pot control if nothing else. Call most rivers.
