I wouldn't get too creative and just fold.

Is this really that bad of a spot to flat in? We need 25% equity to continue vs this small c/r. We have 5 immediate outs plus bdfd. I peel a lot here, but it might be a leak of mine...

Ye readless it's a fold since most villians won't CR t120 light in these spots.

I think I'd eyeroll and flat, we can discount some Qx from his range (AQ, KQ usually 3bets pre and we have a blocker for QJ) and the board is quite dry. I'm not sure if a random can c/r here with like Q8 either so that leaves us with even less Qx combo imo.

This hand is actually from a coaching video. There the instructor suggested that shove might be best. My initial reaction was to fold, so I wanted to get some more opinions.

Looking now at the hand, I think it's a pretty close decision. Although I would prefer shoving to calling as we don't want to give free cards to his airball hands. I guess the decision depends directly on how often the average villain x/raises this board as a bluff. Therefore it might even be stake dependent. My guess is that it's more favorable to jam in $30+ games.

Shove but its close. Flatting is prob worst as most people don't have a plan on the majority of turns. J5 is around borderline and I would fold 95.
