I really want this pot, sir!

[TimberBee]

This is what I call a pretty non-standard hand.

20$+r+a, pretty early.

Right after I called PF, I saw that I probably did a mistake, calling off 15% of my stack with 77. However, I didn't call just for setvalue, but I think I should have folded PF. However...

SB is okay, and I read his small bet on the turn as weakness. I think I can push him off a PP<QQ, and probably a weak Q as welll. BB is just dumb. He could have A high here, really... I would really expekt BTN to bet a queen on the flop.

probably bet the flop to see where you're at, as is I don't mind the line you've taken, a good SB is firing a bet here with any pair, but I wouldn't take the Q out of his range as He may have wanted to c/r the flop with all the players in the hand. if he is only calling you with the Q and not other pairs 88-JJ then i like the play. still though, bet the flop to see where you're at.

I hate betting the flop, cause I hate how so many people want to shove on this flop. Also, the PR OR could slowplay a monster here. So I'd rather give up than bet/fold flop. I want to be the guy doing the shoving, if I'm not giving up. I felt the circumstances were too good to just fold.

What hand would you check on the flop you are shoving turn with those stacks?

I would raise or fold PF, depending on who opened.
It worked out a little better since you got 4 callers, but with 4 callers you really are now playing for set value.

I don't think AQ is out of range for SB, either is KQ or JQ.
Since you didn't bet the flop (and I think AQ has to), I'm not sure you could get JQ to fold. I think the only thing you can get the SB to fold is a bluff, in which case wouldn't calling be better? I think the chances of the SB bluffing are a little less because it's multi-way.

I probably fold the turn.
