In preflop it is acceptable that we call the villain's minimum raise, but we should know that if he had a strong hand he would probably choose a larger size. On the flop the board texture is wet and a protection check could be understood by the positions being played (MP x BTN).
On the turn things get interesting. The villain's back bet is of a significant size (almost a pot bet). At this point we must estimate the hands that beat us versus the bluffs that this V could have.
Combos that beat us on the turn:
8 JQ + 8 JK + 8 JA = 24c
12 AT + 12 KT = 24 c. A total of 48 combos that defeat us.
Combos Semi bluffs that the villain could have on the turn:
16 AK + 16 KQ + 10 flush draw combos = 42 combos.
As we can see the villain has many hands that could defeat us on the turn, so the fold would be a very close option for NL10.
Hero's reason for continuing here could be justified in readings he has regarding the BTN. For example: we can justify a call on the turn if we believe that V is of very wide range and could bluff a hand like A-7.
If we continue on the turn we should call on the river. Because now in addition to the failed draws, we are above many combinations of value that previously defeated us. In addition, with our turn call we committed ourselves to this pot, therefore it would be a long-term mathematical mistake to fold on the river with the top of our range.
Greetings.
