5 left in a 2 table sit and go - $125 entry fee.
Blinds are 1k/2k with 400 ante.

I have 32k. Villain has slightly more.
Other 3 players have us both covered.

I have QJ in SB.

V is on BTN and raises to 5k. He is older white guy, maybe 50-ish. Doesn't seem super nitty but I wouldn't characterize him as a habitual blind thief either.

I chose to call here (should I push). BB (and big stack also calls - she is older white lady been getting hit in face with deck. Plays nitty).

POT: 17k

FLOP: Q72 rainbow (one spade)

I have 27k left..What's my move?

What is your goal by flatting? Imo, raise or fold.

You have 16BB...flatting here w/ 16BB is not profitable in TLR.

Based on your reads on V, what hands in his range are you beating, here? Raise to bluff or fold, here.

No need to flat and be OOP here w/ this hand w/ that stack OTF. Just get out, imo. Wait for a better spot.

Preflop
I know this is salmon swimming upstream advice, but I don't have a problem with flatting that hand preflop.

Flop
Based on your read, let's give V a 20% button range.
Big blind is hard to say. Maybe top 15% minus the top 6%.
That gives you 60% equity on this board, so pretty easy checkraise all in.

Sure, either villian might have a better hand. But with 16BB, we can't worry about that.

folding pre flop unless i know hes opening a fairly wide range and then im 3 bet shoving pre. As played i like a 1/3 sized lead to induce a 3 bet bluff from villain.

Leading flop....folding if BB shoves and BU calls. Otherwise calling AI. Prefer jamming or folding pre though.

i don't think we can bet/fold with 27k and 17k pot holding TP and BDFD. If we lead 7500, then they jam, there is 80k in pot and we have to call 20k off. We almost have the needed equity if BB shows QT and BTN shows AA. Given that BB might have a 7 or other hand on rare occasion and that BTN may call off JJ, etc, I think bet/fold is a disaster.

I am c/r allin this flop.
