And lets say his whole range at this point is JQ. He has about 25 percent equity at this point, but will fold to any bet, and will never bet if checked to. Additionally, lets assume even if he catches he wont bet , it will be checked through, and we will check behind (for simplicity's sake). Wouldn't it be better at this point to bet, even if we aren't making a worse hand call or a better hand fold, because it's better to win the pot 100% of the time rather than 75 %?
Can't check behind OOP. Assuming you are the PFR since you are OOP, you will never be able to put someone on one specific hand (much less QJ for that matter) after one round of betting, especially PF. You will have to play your hand against his entire range for calling you IP PF and deduce his range down as the streets pass. With that being said, I think you answered your own question at the end.
