fold.
Villain leads weak into PFR and calls the raise. He likes his hand! Probably JT hoping you hit the Ace on the river.

After the fold you still have 13xBB .. you don't have to win all the chips in a satellite .. survival is your goal #1. That's why I would have just called on the flop .. I'm always very careful if someone leads into me on the flop when I'm the PFR.

im wondering why you didnt put him in on the turn

[Luisgallo]

because once he called my raise I could have been behind and that card certainly did not help me.
I could have been floating, that was my sense or also playing a worse Q.
I was sure he did not have an A.

it certainly gave you outs and he has less than 1/2 pot size left. instead you let a scarecard come and fold to it

the 2d definitly helped you - giving you 9 more outs to the 2nd nut flush - so i'd shove the turn.

if u were sure he had no A you have to call the river, as i would do.

Villian's action doesn't seem to add up to me. His flop bet seems to be something like Q or 9 + gutshot draw. This also seems to be something a JT might do.

I agree with shoving the turn...as played and given how the hand played out, I close my eyes and call (although I'm afraid of JT).
