QJo - 6Q6 - Something is wrong here, I don't belong here

I think this is the most interesting hand ever prefaced with an Uncle Kracker lyric.

[Fantam]

I am not so sure that I would call the river.

I am fine with the rest of the hand as played.

I would usually fold pre-flop.

on the flop i think a call or raise is ok.

The turn i would prefer to check (but might bet/fold out of habit!)to see the river for free.

Then hopefully we get to see our opponents cards for one bet at most but risk being caught inbetween the BB and utg+2 if they start a raising war.

This isn't a good strategy. If we are raising the flop, it's because we think we have the best hand. The turn was an excellent card for us. There is no reason to not bet, especially with flush draws being in both opponents ranges.

The turn may have been an excellent card for us, but we still may be way behind, and our position, if we raise leaves us trapped inbetween two opponents. You may be right that checking is bad strategy, but i think in this case, the money saved by not betting (because of a threat of a re-raise) is better. It is possible the BB is slow playing the trips because there are two people doing the betting for him. I dont think we are ahead, i think we are drawing. And by keeping the pot smaller, if a raising war does erupt on the river, we have the option to get out.

One guy bet/called the flop and one guy call/called the flop. Either could have a queen with a kicker that we now beat, or a flush draw or an underpair, or ace high. Reading that action as us being behind is MUBSy.
