It’s about making the best play, and maybe during the moment I thought my sizing was best OOP. possibly one of the best response I’ve gotten is from Kounterfit:

Your hand is not that strong at all multiway and on a board like this.
With that said, I'd still def lead out, and hope you can get to SD cheaply. Like I said 3/4 pot bet OTT, and hopefully take the pot down. It's not only a scary board for you, but it could also be a scary board for villains. If your called, probably check fold river.
Thanks for the actual constructive criticism. So maybe that was the best play.
But this is how I played it out:
Full ring, $3/5 $200 cap buy
KingKrab ($190): MP with J
J
, open to $15
MP2 ($230): calls $15
CO ($300): calls $15
SB: folds
BB: Folds
three to the flop, pot is $45
Flop comes T
9

.
KingKrab: bet $20.
MP2: calls $20.
CO: calls $20.
Pot is $105.
Turn is the Queen of diamonds. Board is T
9

Q
KingKrab($155): checks.
MP2 ($195): Bets $50.
CO ($265): Raises to $165.
KingKrab: folds.
MP2: Tanks, goes all in for like 20 bucks more.
CO: Calls.
Pot is $495 or so.
River comes the Ten of diamonds. T
9
7
Q
T
MP2 turns over T8 for rivered trips and a missed OESD on the flop.
CO turns over QT for rivered full house.
The raise on the turn made my decision easier to fold. I feel like at this point my single pair is behind, so I’m basically getting all my money in on a draw.
In hindsight, I think I’ll stick to an $15 or $20 open in MP. My image at this table is such that if I made it even a tiny bit larger pre in EP/MP, most all hands would fold out. in general, large EP opens in my live game get tons of “respect” and most people fold.
On the flop, I guess I should open larger as the pot is $45ish. If I had however, I don’t think either hand was folding necessarily. As you guys mentioned, it would set me up for a turn shove, but I’d literally be doing it blind as I have the least amount of information first to act.
