Should I have led out the turn? I think so,
Should I have called? I had a redraw to Q flush if I was behind, was this hand avoidable?

Looks fine to me. I prob make it a tiny big bigger pre because of the limper.

Meh, i think its a fold but i probably bet bigger on the turn and have so little left that i have to call it off anyways. I think this is pretty much always a flush though, atleast i think QQ is hardly ever good when he x/r turn.

Wtf, stop being a nit acky. Hand is standard, especially when we've got 20% equity against the majority of hands.

Typically in an 3-bet pot, you should know on the flop whether you're going to stretch this out to 3 streets, or try to bet/bet the money in on the flop & turn. I'd prolly bet larger preflop & on the flop in order to get the money in by the turn. Against more aggressive opponents, giving them the illusion of fold equity can only be good, but this guy seems bad so I just funnel the money in ASAP.

Sigh. I don't know if i've done the maths right but we need to have atleast 27% equity when we call here i think? I don't see much we have 27% equity that a 21/9 check raises the turn with after calling a 3bet, considering his raising range from EP is super tight anyways, infact his whole raising range is. Meh, its close if he does this with stuff like JJ but i think if he ever does this with JJ he does it pretty rarely so we have to discount it a lot, so i stand by us not having the 27% we need. He's so tight i just fold and expect him to always have some AJ flush type hand, either that or a weird played AA or KK. Yeah i'll take being a nit in this hand :)

If you have to ask what you are going to do when he shoves the turn then don't bet the turn. Always have a plan in poker. If he does A, I do B etc.

He showed up with 88 if you're curious, okay so I should just have bet more to make sure I didnt have this tight spot.

This looks good to me.

I probably would have bet $2.00 on the turn.
