Check, set player all in he folds.

-----------------------------------------

My thinking, the player had folded twice previously to small continuation bets on dry boards at the FT.

When he calls the flop, I am ahead of a limited number of hands in his range but overall I am behind most hands he'll call flop with.

I felt he might lead Qx, or check jam Qx OTF, just given his stack / blinds.

The turn I decided to keep up the pressure, although I don't expect Q x to fold.

OTR you wouldn't expect Q x to fold, I don't think he had a Q and most likely had 10x, overall I just felt he looked quite weak versus my display of strength and felt he wouldn't want to busto in 5th, but im not to sure, overall could be bad.

 

i would more likely check back flop due to stack sizes. Villian can check raise all in a lot of his defending range where we can fold the best hand. Turns out in this example villian is bad and looks like he has 10x or a missed draw which they shouldve chk/raised all in on the flop with

Just looked at this again, I really dislike how I played this hand

I wouldn't cbet flop, not many turns cards are going to be good for us to barrel and stacks are pretty awkward, Q and T flops also tend to hit callers quite hard. Take your sdv instead.
