Hi, was hoping for some advice on the following hand that I just played....
Straddle on (whale - had re-bought 3 times in last 45 mins), utg (very loose, limp calling Q3 offsuit pre for £12, had made a big check raise bluff a few hands earlier which I thought was actually good as the better looked very weak to me, but defo a fish).
Whale in straddle (£300), utg fish (covers) limps, I make it £20 with QQ (have about £270), folds to straddle who calls, fish calls. Pot £63.
Flop 6-7-10 rainbow, checked to me I bet £40, both called. Pot £183, checked to me.
Turn is 3c
I bet £125, with about £85 behind, whale calls, fish shoves, I call all in, whale calls all in.
Is my turn bet ok here do you think? 4-5 gets there, I didn't think that at the time, would the turn be a better check back spot? I thought the 3 was quite safe at the time.
Thanks for any advice

Definitely can't check the turn vs two players that are going to be calling with worse all day. Bet/call seems fine to me with how little money behind there is, how much money is in the pot and the reads on villains. You'll get slowplayed on this board a decent amount but more often then not, they're just calling down with all kinds of worse hands.
If you have another 200 behind, I'd be more likely to bet/fold at that point.

You played it fine. Could have gone a little more on flop for pure value.
