    flop call is already very marginal, definitely fold turn

    First observation for me as hero is it's a multi way pot so there is a higher chance of someone having something ( the equity advantage of my hand is reduced because multi way) not too sure if "equity advantage" is a word or not but regardless second observation the textural imbalance of this board futher reduces the strength or equity of my hand and on this board I'm wanting to check and play small and not do any raising at all. don't know if that is optimal or not
    but I would rather play tight post flop,
    For me I like a fold once I see big blind make turn bet.

    Fold flop.
    As played, fold turn.

    With respect, turn is really bad.

    In general there is less bluffing in multi way pots. Think about all the hands BB can have. He raised pot on flop with a player left to act and is potting turn leaving only 50BB behind. You are drawing dead on the turn very often, big over play of TPTK here
