fold pre, b/f turn.

Youve gotta fold pre as a speculative hand such as this doesnt play well oop on any kind of non nut flops (any other than str8/boat), as for post flop I maybe look to check raise the flop but then your only going to get called by sets of qs/very strong draws which your either dead to or only 70/30 at best. the donk bet on the flop keeps others calling correct with implied odds with combos of fds/sds and Qs. As for when the ace comes on the turn, it brings alot of a8/9 ahead of you and im looking to check it down to sd imo. Its really a compound mistake from pre flop

Ditto
There is still plenty of value, the fish will call J9/T9/QJ/QT/TT/JJ/xhxh/67 for sure. We can also expect to see to a lesser degree, KQ/AJ/AT/56/T8s

There's a large 50 combo range of AQ/Q9/QT/JT/A9/A8/88/99 to be scared off. But the hands I mentioned previously make up a good 96-153 combos.
Fishes ranges are always super wide but it's often only the ranges that beat us we mentally perceive as they're the hands we can imagine ourselves playing.

Welcome to the forum. +1 on this.

I probably b/f turn too because anyone raising me here in a multi-way pot won't have worse than bottom twopair.
