Given the texture of the board, I don't think it's bad to x/f and just give up on the hand since broadway cards are a big part of villain's range, but I think there's an argument to keep firing too.
I understand the argument of why we can triple hands with low/no equity, I just think in practice it's not needed much in these bvb situations OOP, especially in the fast-fold games. It's much easier (and cheaper!) to just ATS w/ the right hands and if that fails and you don't flop any/much equity to quickly move on to the next hand rather than attempting to blow someone off a hand for a large number of bb's when they may never fold even second pair bvb.
I mean, I understand that theoretically we should have both the range and/or nut advantage on a flop like this, but in practice people will snap call even a 1.5x overbet on flops when they should essentially be folding nearly range.
So it often just works out to just throwing good money after bad, when your main purpose was a cheap steal attempt. I've watched a ton of solid winning players' at 200z+ on Twitch justcheck folding w/ no/low equity in these bvb spots from the sb constantly rather than upping their variance massively for little or no gain.
