Fortunately your opponent was dreadful. Any competent opponent folds the flop to your bet (with QQ given the board and its a 4bet pot). You need to bet small on the flop and get value from hands you beat then bet most turns and rivers
Maybe you are right on NL 25 and above, the players would have folded the gutshot on the flop, there could the check OOP be the better option, give the villain rope and see what happens.
Yes in theory this may be ok, if I want to play to turn and river and make mistakes there(J or Q comes in on one of these streets).
Sometimes the question is where do I or villain make the most mistakes, and mostly it is preflop or flop.
Betting small will/shall keep ranges wide but in this case ranges are no longer wide, it is a 4-bet pot.
With top two pair and the low SPR I want to play for stacks on this flop even on this realatively wet and dynamic flop.
But I like to work on the redline and have good non showdown winnings, if I play cashgame.
I think way to many hands go to showdown these days, this is due solver logic driven play, imo.
The overbet on the flop should give villain the image that I have somthing like JJ, TT and have to fear these AK, AA, KK.
