Also, if I was the one with the Q in the pocket in this instance, would you say it's ideal to bet, and what amount?
Listen to what the man says boy... EV is the way to play.

Texas Holdem with REAL people is a single deck game. Beating it is mathmatically easier than beating based on the luck of the cards. EV accounts for ALL of the variables and you are stuck in the mode of what is going to happen in THIS hand.. Stop thinking about 1 hand and think and how you will do over the next 1000...
