i would probably raise the turn bigger, but not stacking off vs. the turn 3-bet w/o some miracle read is impossible

Agree on above.Really dislike turn min raise.Regarding stacking off you have a set in a 3bet pot hu and top set blocker.Very hard to get away,but that being said you are 200bb deep so folding becomes reasonable option.

x/f flop

I've been in similar situations before, played it the way you did, and I get crushed every time. It's a leak I have in my game, I need to pause and take time to ask the right questions.

After 3-betting preflop OOP, why doesn't he c-bet the flop? The flop hits his range more than yours.

The turn is a 5, how does this help him? He bets, you raise, he reraises, almost 100% of the time it means he slowed played a huge hand, time to fold. He's not reraising with top-2, he would have bet that on the flop. What hands would he play this way?

If he is bluffing on the turn with a weak hand, why raise, call and let him bluff the river.

This

Raise bigger, stack off fine. Would want a Qd or no Q to flat. With a queen blocker as well as no diamond raising is better as main line.

So with an SPR of 11, stacking off with 3rd set is OK?

That's not what I said. I said in this hand, stack off is fine. You can't just make rules like in certain SPR you can stack off a certain hand. I even specifically gave you situations where you'd be more keen to not raise (such as if you have no Q or if you have a diamond blocker).

You don't have third set, you have third set with top pair blocker and no fd blocker.

And justifying stacking off based on blockers without considering villains hand range is just crazy. What hands are you putting villain on that justifies GII?

Putting villains on hands is very 2013.

You can fold and quit poker the hand after or you can pay that man his money

Villain is OOP so I don't see why he couldn't be checking with QJ otf here hoping we bet twice and can x/shove a blank turn) - he can also have a big draw that maybe he is hoping to x/raise on the flop. Particularly if we have been attacking him any time he shows weakness in a 3b pot. Could even have bottom set if he was 3b a good double pair hand.

Also, hero checks flop IP. His range OTT when he raises is way more capped than villains by that action. A good villain could exploit that by 3b here wide - especially if we are then going to be folding the top of our range.

This is just one of those spots that you are going to lose your money in no matter what... and if you aren't, then you are prone to getting massively exploited by villains in other spots.
