$3.30 NLHE MTT: Flopped two pair after calling min 3bet pre

Before anyone says anything, , it's not exactly a min 3bet as stated in the title...

Not much information on villain, but this 3bet is so small I'm not going to fold. My main question is whether I should shove the flop (getting called obviously by overpairs) or just call and get one more bet out of them on the turn.

Hero wins 21.7 BB

two diamonds on the board could make it iffy. Shove in my opinion.

Smaller pre, 2-2.2x accomplishes the same thing with a nitty BB.

Jam over his bet on the flop, if V has air, it is unlikely V is bluffing the turn and if V has top pair or better or a draw he is never folding. Calling also looks super strong in your spot.

Not sure why my open was closer to 2.5BB, it's usually much smaller. Anyways, I was thinking that Since the 3bet was so small preflop, villain was strong here. While I agree that just calling looks very strong and it may stop them from continuing with air, my issue is that it won't stop them from continuing with their big hands. I'm also not too worried about the turn since I have position. In hindsight, villain would probably cbet this flop much bigger with their strong hands. I suppose with these stack sizes we are most likely getting it in regardless.

I think your open size is fine. You are in the lower part of your betting range. The 3 bet from the SB screams strength not knowing the player. They will flat defending a lot of hands but with the 3 bet I am thinking AQ and up 8s or better is the range. Maybe A10 AJ but I think they would still flat with those hands. 1st decision should we even call the 3 bet. Given the range it's iffy I think but it is not a huge raise and I can see an argument for both. Once you hit pretty much one of your best flops, you are only afraid of 9s or Js. You have a blocker to Js or any other Jx hand so I think you are only really worried about 9s. V will c-bet most of his range here so I think jamming overtop would be the best. Flatting might let flush draw hands catch up. I don't want to give them a cheap turn to draw out.
