You obviously have no show down value, as there are no draws out there so he has a pocket pair or better. Betting $18 into $24 you need him to fold 43% of the time for it to be break even. I don't think you're getting that.

Your turn bet seems too weak to indicate that you're holding a Q so it comes down to if you can make him think you're PP is bigger than his. If he thinks you're capable of bluffing any % of the time, then this is the board to look you up if he's holding 88+, KQ+. I'm checking behind unless I've been cultivating a very nitty image.

Ya, once I looked over the hand, I realized my turn bet sizing really sucked. I also forgot to say stuff about my image. I was playing 16/13 over ~50 hands this session so far and hadn't really shown all that much aggression so far. However, I've played quite a few hands with villain and if he remembers any session, he knows I'm capable of being fairly aggressive.

Here i go again....
Take what I say with a grain of salt and remember two things... 1)I am only recently making the transition from LHE to NL  
                                                                                            2) I am only playing 10NL stakes, full ring

When I say fold it is because at 10nl I can not detect a whole lot of bluffing and what there is used against me so far I am more than paid back when I do have the goods...to me this particular hand is fit or fold...when u say the utg/villain with a Q should be betting out well to me if I was in villains spot I would  would be checking a Q and letting folks behind me bluff away...it happens so often at 10nl at is unbelievable...then I would play back hard/make a big bet at sd and either get paid off or take their bluff money and leave them wondering...

I type slow and need to get to work but have many more thoughts running through my head about this particular spot and would really enjoy keeping this thread going...I am trying not to stick my foot in my mouth so it is taking me awhile to put on paper my thoughts...

One advantage I believe I do have having come from only playing LHE is my post flop play....I have seen Sooooooo many hands go to showdown  where it seems on the NL side most ppl have no real post flop skill ... I get bombarded with chat about being such a donk when I go to s/d with some of my holdings...seems some/most have watched to much tv poker...I am not scared to play big pots post flop with decent draws yet majority of players I have ran into so far think if they bet/bluff big enough that should do it....I have a different perspective still being new to nl and so far it is working...maybe run good/ maybe good variance/maybe online is rigged and i am being favored right now but so far so good..


EDIT:  the one caveat to me slow playing the queen is if there is a PP behind me that does catch their full house...it is something I would just live with and move on...to me the pp behind has 2outs to their full house and i have 3 with my kicker...i will live wih that
