Id bet this flop for value.

After this X / B / X hero's line on this mtw pot, I dont find too much bluff, what combos would bluff your off ur hand otr that call ott? This is more likely other combos wanting you to call...

AP x/f OTR

whats ur range that takes this line?
KQ, QJ, QT, Q9 some Ahi clubs? Will you play QQ or 77 like this? Would you play AQ like this?

I would think you're at the top of your range here and that it's a call.

(also, I agree with your line here, well played)

Calling here, V should be bluffing clubs draws here and some other floats/draws enough I think call is good. Also fine with your line overall

This hand is fine to open from MP and definitely an open from CO unless you're against people who like to squeeze a lot.

It's at the bottom of opening range so ev of playing it is small. Folding is fine too depending on table

Sorry I could have been clearer, my bad. QJo is a std open for me from CO but I don't think it's std from MP. I mentioned folding it in CO sometimes to illustrate that it's in the bottom portion of the open range that I will adjust out to aggressive BTNs and blinds and that it should only be in MP as an adjustment to fish at the table.
