This is a standard cbet imo this flop hits some of your range and you gotta rep that you have some sort of queen, then
if he makes a mistake by calling for a flush draw your getting max value on your hand , if the flush comes on the turn i would
still lead out becuz to him it looks weird so if he shoves or calls again im extracting max value,
in this case he prob didnt even have a heart or any type of queen so you just happend to get unlucky,
obviously if u check your not getting much value because if he checks behind your giving him outs to draw for free.
personally i wouldnt check becuz if he has ace hi flush draw and he hit then were putting ourselves in a tricky spot
on the turn .
i dont know im sure there are tons of other reasons those are just a few of why i wouldnt check this flop -
You had a loose hand. It was so lucky for you when your opponent had folded. So your bet at that time is a good dicision.
