AQ TPTK on a very scary board

[jj12]

Opponents are random shortstacking donks. On the flop any raise I make is pot commiting and there are many bad turn cards, so I decide to just call and possibly make my move on a blank turn. I am 90% sure that the second guy has a king / small queen because he was instacalling. Should I just push here?

I'd raise the flop because I do not want two people drawing against me on a scary board. I'd make it $21, and I think it's OK to fold to SB if he pushes ($24 more).

As played, as your plan was to make your move on a blank turn, make your move.

I raise the flop and call a push. Shortstack donks are usually bad and his weak lead doesn't lead me to believe he beats your current hand.

I would probably raise flop to try and protect my hand. I don't mind how you played it though. Since you planned to shove a blank turn and the turn blanked, go ahead with your plan and shove.

ok, it's just hard to put two people on hands that I beat on that board. I guess if they are 50/2/1 its very likely.

BB could have something like KT and SB could have something like KQ, KJ or Q9 or somethinkg like that. There are some hands that you beat. Did you end up shoving like you planned?

yes sb had 89
