how should i play this so confussed on this turn because both villians are 20/16 and 18/15 regs over 100 plus hands for both. i cant see the guy who double barrels ever doing this without a nuttish hand or huge draw. what should i do on the turn? is the flop a terrible call and not raise??

don´t know if my thoughts are right but I would play it this way:
call these small bets, till the river and make a note how he played it. If he had AK,98, you´ve got still 6 outs and he can hold even Qx,Tx,Jx and you dominate them. if he holds QQ,TT,JJ you will see in the showdown what these small bet meant and you can have a read on him in other hands. he can also have 99- or he is just bluffing. He is giving you odds 3:1 on the turn and I think is good to call him with two pairs.
am I right? any other ideas?

dont call QJo vs a taggish(?) player when you dont feel confident with such a hand postflop.

As played: raise flop and see what happens. The BB didn't squeeze pre (I expect him to do this with AK, QQ, maybe JJ-TT) so you are likely to be ahead.
A flatcall and lead out looks strongly like TJ, 99, AQ, KQ (he dont want to give a freecard).
You'll also run in some dominated spots from time to time but your hand is way to strong to fold.

I fold PF.
Raise the flop for value. BB donks less than 1/2p otf 5 way + CO just flats, so I don't think they are both that strong. You don't want to just call this down or slowplay multiway as your hand is strong but quite vulnerable.

why would i fold pre in posistion with QJ? i do feel confident generally just not on this board. if you make the T a 4 and make it a different suit im very happy playing this hand

You'll find yourself in diffcult guessing spots too often. Think about the CO range. What would you do if a Q-high dry board comes?
You can't call 3 barrels with your hand unless you think your opponent is full of it.
Opening QJo is good in late pos. - calling down is pain in the ass.

Fold PF, you are dominated way to often. Raise flop for value.
