How do you play this hand? I think that the villain doesn't have any A and in the case that he have a Q we have FE+ the FD

You can bet flop because it is unlikely that this flop will help for range limper BUT , but you need bet very small like 300 chips, if villain have nothing and he would fold to your small bet.

Turn check/fold because you really have nothing in your hand and you can be far behind, better not to risk here.

Considering that this is a turbo, there is a lot to say for playing this hand very aggressively postflop.
I would then suggest just shoving the flop outright. We should have FE against some weaker aces and with the K high FD all we really fear is villain holding AsXs. With two cards to come we are at full equity against hands like 99 or AT that may call us here.
Either way, we don't really want to be in this hand, against a tight passive villain who probably doesn't realize the rapid inflation that's happening and will spend precious time considering calling a bet; we want to get back to stealing as many blinds as possible before we have to go ATC vs ATC. So check/folding is fine too.

Turbos suck.

I do a big bet in the flop with the intention to build a big pot, and in order to go all in any turn so we have more FE + some outs

is this a 6max or 9max? seems like a 9max meaning we're ITM so while there is a "mini-bubble" here, we don't have to be as concerned with ICM as we would have been if this was say a 6max on the bubble or 4 players left in a 9man.

That said, if the SB is a player type who is loose/weak, meaning he will limp a ton and fold alot to preflop raises, then we can easily just jam this type of hand in preflop and expect a ton of folds.

Once we get postflop, we really only want to be making a one time stab at this pot, it's unlikely that he has an ace, but his thinking can equally put you on no ace either, so a bet will only really work against those really weak players who only continue if they don't connect. That being said, if he is weak he will call a big bet just like he would call a small bet, likewise he will fold to a big bet just like he would fold to a small bet. So when bluffing, we want to make it a cheap for ourselves as possible, so making it like 330 here or something is ideal since it's just a flat out one time stab at the pot.

Once called on a board like this, it's really hard to fire another barrell because as unlikely as it is that he does not have an ace, it's now more likely that he has one bc he calls on this board. So the only hands that might give up now when we jam are smaller pairs, like 77 88 and we also fold out hands like kj maybe. The main problem as well with firing is that the Q hits a decent chunk of his broadway range, like the QJ KQ type hands that might continue on the flop, so it's best to keep to a plan here and give it up after the flop, but obviously once you make that really big bet you planned on jamming turns, but it's a good and bad card to do it on as mentioned ,it's good because it makes hands like 55 77 88 etc fold more often, but bad because it hits all of his other range of hands like QJ KQ etc.

So i don't mind making plays, but overall jamming preflop will likely show a better return here than this play postflop, love the stab attempt on the flop, just keep it smaller and give up on the turn, if after a while you have a history with this villian and he does not give up easily on the flop, then you can just tighten your bluffing range and loosen your value range as he will be calling you way too light on flops, making him a great target to value bet light against...
