My opponent in the hand is an old man reg who is capable of making moves. He has a little under $600 at the start.
Im in the BB with T8hh and about $2k. A straddle to 10, utg limps, Villain limps +1, folds to me and I complete, straddle checks.
Flop is Tc3d2s. I lead $20, straddler and Villain call.
Turn is 8c. Sweet. I bet $60, the straddler calls with just over $100 left, and now V makes it $240. What do we do?

I'm checking this flop. This hand is just too weak to bet with, would rather use it as a bluffcatcher.
Turn spot is pretty gross, like it's virtually a protected pot with straddler having so little left, so it's hard to see how this is a bluff from V. He could have the same hand. It feels gross but I guess I'm folding?

I'm fine either folding or getting it in on this turn. He should have us beat but old guys overplay overpairs like this too especially in a straddled pot where they are likely to limp pre. So I probably GII here and if he has us beat all we gotta do is bink that ten as long as he doesn't have the rest of 'em.
Check flop as our hand isn't that great here.

Well it's a draw heavy board and you say he's capable of making moves; so I would lean towards jamming this turn; you could possibly be ahead of some hands that he's value betting here but that's maybe a little too optimistic
Jam or fold for sure

Its really not that draw heavy. 45, maybe A4/5 of clubs if we're really optomistic. Sitting there it felt like 22 or 33 almost always.
If we decide we're not folding and with 300 left behind, any benefit to flatting to increase the chances the 3rd (bad) player puts in his last chips very likely drawing dead?
