I am relatively new to poker and got into this tricky situation. Let me know your thoughts.

The main Villain seems like a young aggressive player. Saw him raise and bluff with K8 suited from UTG. He is playing online poker(PokerBro) at the table. Hero image is TAG.

1/3 NL 7 handed live game. Effective stack size is $600 and the villain covers me. A couple limps to the hero in SB with J10dd. Hero raise to $20. A normal raise on this table is $15. The main Villain in BB calls and Btn calls. The Btn has been calling me light ever since I tried bluffing him.

Pot ($60), flop is Jh 10h Kc. Hero leads for $50. BB calls and Btn calls.

Pot ($210)- turn is 6d. I thought about checking for pot control but wanted to charge any draws since the board is very wet. I regretted now, but I bet $75 as a block bet slash value bet. BB jams and Btn folds.

hero?

Bottom two is a sucker's hand. He has KQ AQ or KXhh. Most likely AQ since that's in your range and he's not too worried about you having it. He's protecting his nuts.

I just see a flop preflop. I hate building big pots OOP with marginal hands with difficult players in the mix.

I don't like the sizing of our flop bet. Bottom two pair on this board isn't exactly a monster that I'm looking to build a massive pot with. So I'm betting no more than 1/2 PSB. And with a bluffy guy in the BB and a guy on the Button who's looking to get into it with me, I actually wouldn't even hate a check-to-get-to-showdown-barring-a-stoopid-runout line.

I don't hate a bet on the turn. But one of the benefits of checking is that we're pretty much ensured to get to the river to realize our equity / mostly have a chance at showing down in a large pot. As played, I probably fold. We have a TAG image and just raised preflop out-of-the-blinds so this board should crush us, and yet dude raised us anyways (with still a buy behind him in the mix).

massive leak, that mindset is the problem, losing the hand is trivial, you'll lose hundreds of thousands of them

besides, raising possibly let you get out cheap, if you check and he bets $150 you probably call and lose more
