Re: limped pot, akward river bet
You should raise pre-flop if you want to play the hand. Gives you so much more chance to win the pot. And you don't get a BB with a random shit hand.
You make money just by raising the limpers and then c-betting every single flop. Well you can take a look at their fold to c-bet % and adjust ofc. But most will have something like 60% fold to c-bet and then it's profitable to c-bet 100%. You can check the fold to c-bet % pre-flop to decide if you want to isolate or not.
Turn I don't know. Hard to see anything you get value from. I guess there are a few straight draws but then your hand isn't worth much either. So I wouldn't bet to protect it. Note though that if you check the turn your prob have to call a few rivers when they think you have given up and bluff.
On the river I would fold 100%. My theory is that when they pot it on the river the card usually helped them. They go "Oh I got a nice hand." press pot and bet.. And sometimes they do it on a blank as a bluff. But a Q is hardly a blank. And the pot is big enough that donks will not like to bluff that much money. Esp since you have shown so much strength.
