Having problems with TPWK on heavydraw board and got miniraised - am I good?
Sorry for title - didn't complete it.

PKR No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed) - PKR Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (SB) ($52.85)
BB ($66)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J

, 9

Hero bets $1.50, BB calls $1.50

Flop: ($3) 8

, 9

, 7

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4, BB raises to $8, Hero raises to $22, BB calls $22

I don't understand what this miniraise/call big raise means on this draw. Is my hand any good here?

Turn: ($47) 7

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $29.35 (All-In), BB calls $29.35

Call big, then check? Now what?

River: ($105.70) 6

(2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $105.70 | Rake: $0.50

I would not 3-bet flop. Just flat and wait for a safe turn. If villain has the kinda hand he had you are flipping, if he has a value hand you are drawing pretty few outs.

Your play isn't the worst because you knew the majority of his range is some kind of a draw but 3betting the flop isn't the greatwest here because of what was explained above

Yeah 3 betting flop sucks and is I disagree that the you can say the majority of his range is draws. This is a super strong board and while he has a ton of draws, he also has a ton of made hands...lots of 2 pairs, sets, and straights. While they are combinatorially less likely then flush draws they still make up a decent chunk of his range and also skew your equity pretty heavily downward since when you are behind you are crushed.

As played def shove turn.

I agree that getting it in on the flop against aggro opponents is good. Versus passive ones I would just call the flop and probably fold that turn if they continued betting.
