Villain is a reg. 26/15, stealing 50%, Ft3bet = 0%. He is very aggressive post (AFq F/T/R 67/70/33 - prolly too high due to 65 hand samplesize but him being aggro is def accurate) and seems easy to be induced by perceived weakness.

OTF I decided to check b/c it just feels like sound logic to check to a villain like this if you don't have to protect from many turncards. By betting we can set up turn or river all-ins vs worse straights which is why I would be vs average or less aggressive opponents but here I think the merit of letting him stab is higher. He might also bet straight draws that most people will check back. If he potted I would prolly have shoved b/c if he commits himself like that I think he won't have to many T's and everything else I have good to very good EQ against. Once he bets small I def don't like x/potting and I also dislike x/r more since we gii vs his Ts and make him fold bad straight draws etc.

OTT I checked again b/c my perceived range should be OP heavy. While QJ surely isn't the last hand I would x/c OTF I still think that betting the turn is a good play vs my perceived range. 

I don't really know what to make of his betsize but I find it tough to give him credit for too many boats here. I block a 9 and I'm not sure if he would really only bet 40% pot OTF with a lone T. 

With the FD out there I decided to x/shove but I don't really think the FD changes too much. I don't want to lose action from worse straights on 3flushrivers tho and sometimes he might go for some weird b/c with hands like J9 with diamonds or w/e.

Comments on both flop and turn would be greatly appreciated!
