FLOP ($1.87) Q 5 3

UTG checks, Hero bets $1.30, CO calls $1.30, UTG raises to $3, Hero calls $1.70, CO folds

TURN ($9.17) Q 5 3 T

UTG bets $2

Villain is playing 28/10/1.7
The reason I called on the flop was that I had a player still to act behind me who could be slowplaying a set, the calling of the CO on the flop seems suspicious, but still more suspicious and strong is the reraise of the UTG player on to two players. Should I fold here, on the flop or shove?

On the flop at this limits you should shove.

wow you're not really thinking of folding on turn? just shove flop and if you wanna flat you should be doing it to keep villain betting with worse. Def raising over his weak turn bet and stacking off, but tbh i don't know how the game changes at nl5 when players are deep but i'm pretty confident this is a standard stack off

I definitely wouldn't be folding. i'd be deciding on how or when to get more money in.

i would probably shove here, i had a similar spot yesterday and shoved turn, one guy had lower pair the other called a large 3bet, had 64 and made a straight!!!!!

Shoving on the flop makes playing this hand a lot easier, and is probably the best move. Yes you are super deep and yes you could be beat but at NL5 they show up with worse so often.

You would have to have a good read on him as not willing to pay you off w/ a good Qx to just call. He shows up here with AQ a fair bit though and is probably going to snap-call your shove.

I love the fact that .02/.05 often plays so deep... I would agree with everyone else that is a real easy spot if you only had 100bb each, but playing over-pairs deep can involve a lot of variance.
