1/2 390 effective

H opens to 10 with QTss in MP 3 callers and BB 3 bets to 45
I call and 2 others calls

Flop (180) Q97s BB cbets for 85 now I know this hand is a pretty speculative call pre and it look ugly against his cbet size into 3 other players but I didn’t call pre to fold top pair with Backdoor straight/flush draw so I call everyone else folds

Turn (350) Jx BB checks I have about 260 back. I know 1/2 players typically don’t fold overpairs but BB seemed to be a thinking player and even said to me that I don’t seen to get out of line much. Is checking the right play and taking the free equity or should I be shoving and going for fold equity against an overpair as this board doesn’t look great for AA or KK

Fold to the 3! pre.
Fold to the flop.
Shove the turn now that you got yourself here and it’s probably your only hope.

You're calling $35 with a speculative hand, where you will need to flop 2 pair or better or a big draw. You don't have enough behind to win if you do make a big hand.....only about 10x. You should fold preflop.

Don't understand your flop call. You don't even have a straight draw. V has to have AK a lot of the time for this to be good. You're in bad shape against his typical 3 betting range since you don't have draw to go along with your TP.

You now have about 1/3 of your stack in the middle. Turn card is a good one....gives you TP and an OESD. You are only going to get there about 22% of the time against AA or KK. Checking here looks weak. I think you have to shove here and rep a set. Now that assumes V is capable of folding AA or KK here.
