Been playing at table for 45 minutes and will be perceived as tight. Made one successful 3bet and lost a couple of pots raising button. Sitting with £90

7 handed.

UTG +1, £120 no reads
CO, £200 weak passive
BTN is competent, has 3bet from button twice previously and rarely seems to put chips in pre unless raising, £300
I am SB, £90

UTG+1 makes it £3, CO calls, BTN calls. I make it £16 with KQo.
Folds to BTN who calls.

Flop (£39) A 2 6 rainbow. I cbet £22. He calls.

Turn (£83) 7 (2nd diamond). I have £52 behind. Is it spew to jam here and attempt to fold weak aces & floats or is his range full of sets?

The whole hand is marginal to bad. The preflop raise OOP is a bluff, something you should almost never do OOP against multiple opponents. Your raise is more then 1/10th of your stack, a competent villain isn't calling you light. He has a big pair and thinks there is a good chance you are bluffing or he has AK/AQ. The flop c-bet isn't terrible but won't work as often as you like. You might get a fold if villain has a pair but he is expecting you to bet this flop 100% of the time and will pick off a bluff sometimes.

Once he calls flop you probably have no chance of getting him to fold, save your remaining money.

+1 not a single thing to add to this.

If I think I can make 20x the amount I have to call, while at the same time keeping myself out of trouble playing OOP, then yes, I call. 20x isn't written in stone, however, I subscribe to the axiom that you win less money OOP than you do IP. You do not have the benefit of knowing where your Vs are at on each street before you act. Therefore your RIO are greater. So, you need good reads on your Vs when playing OOP.

You left out so much needed information for anyone to make an intelligent, or informed opinion. I think QuadJ gave as much advice as possible considering the lack of info you gave.

I suggest reading the following on how to post a hand:

Starting a Thread

I strongly suggest a course of reading and responding to existing threads before posting one of your own. That allows you to learn, understand how a good thread is made, and often answers the question you had in the first place. Your goal should not be to know what you should have done, but rather how to work out what you should do in similar situations. You are losing a huge opportunity to learn if you post a sloppy Hand History (HH) or theory thread. That’s why I discourage posting more than two HHs per day. There are posters that can teach you a world of concepts over one hand, if you let them.

If you are going to start a thread, here are some tips to get better responses and more in depth analysis.

Easy to read Formatting: The standard 2+2 format looks like the OP of this thread.

At a minimum, it should include stakes, reads on the players (this is live folks, you should have at least 4-5 pieces of information as the player sits down and before he plays a hand), what your image is, relevant stack sizes, your hand, the action, the board and pot sizes on each street. Do not post results, but stop the action where you have a significant decision to make. Let us know what you are thinking as you make an action.

One hand per thread: The more hands you stuff in a thread, the less likely posters will want to wade through it all. Most multiple hand threads get quickie responses. You should want more.

Be descriptive in your title: “Turn Decision” doesn’t make people interested in the thread. If you say, “1/2 with AA, facing raise on flop,” the readers have some idea of what they are going to comment about.

Heros and Villains: 2+2 convention is that the poster is the “Hero” of the hand, while his opponents are the “Villain.”

Finally, everyone encourages you to post winning hands. Many people post hands they lost and they want to know if they could have avoided it. There are some times you win a hand, but played it so badly that you didn't deserve to win, or it the decision wasn't that great, but you won a 40/60. Those are far more valuable, but far too rare to see.
