Is this a c bet?

.10/.25 on Bovada

Hero opens to .75 from LJ with KKQ9ds hearts and diamonds
HJ calls
Flop Qs2d2h
Hero?

Is this a c bet? A detailed thought process would be appreciated, I often find myself unsure of what to do in spots where I flop top pair blocker but don’t have a hand that wants to put a lot of money in the pot.

Theoretically you have a huge range advantage because you have AA and he doesn't while neither of you have many deuces. Of course there is QQ. I think it's a range bet, half or perhaps even bigger.

Makes sense. As played I bet 1/3 pot and V pots, I fold. Good fold?

No draws on board i.e. not many outs to protect against when you're good, i.e. WA / WB situation

Not gonna get 3 streets of value from worse, arguably aren't even gonna get 2

Blocking the main hand you want to get called by i.e. Qx

4 outs and backdoors to hit when behind, i.e. checking grants you some nice draws to go with your showdown value

All leads to check being best

Depends. Some think they should raise bluff because of your sizing and the fact that you rarely have a deuce. I'd call and see what happens.
