How to play OOP top set when turn complete a straight?

Flop QJ2 (flush draw in)
You hold QQxx (no blockers, in this case I had QQ54ds)
You pot (x/r, lead etc.)
You got called by someone who has position on you.
The turn is a 8/9/T/K/A
What do you do if SPR is:
2
3-6
6+
What if cash/MTT (bubble etc.)

pot not only with QQ, but also with a wrap and I see no problem.
Your exact hand is rather bad with having 45. can you figuere out what sidecard combinations would be good, and what combinations would be bad? then you can try to construct your range in hands to c/f, c/c, c/r, b/f and b/c.
but this spot is complicated and you wont get a recipe that fixes all your problems. Try to think in terms of ranges and not exact hands.

Not sure of the action, but it seems you are over-valuing top set on a drawy board OOP. Play around with equity on a PLO calculator and you'll see you're often slightly ahead or slightly behind on this flop. Not a good spot to c/r or be agressive with an SPR2+

i disagree CardiffGiant, top set when it is the nuts on the flop is a hand that should be bet or raised as a default even on wet boards. you need pretty compelling reasons to slowplay.
as for op, check is the play.

You’re both right imo. Fast playing top set is printing, but delaying til the turn when there’s a big equity shift is good too. We should do both at some frequency.

oop, i'm checking any a, k, t, 9 but i would probably bet the eight.
would probably do that with spr of 3+ and with spr of 2 i would mix checking and jamming but i think jamming/getting it in is more correct.
