Default $11 NLTRN -Turn decision facing a big bet

10th hand - hand 1: I 3bet with AJs and he folded to my followthrough on flop. I've folded 3 SB's, raised one, he called, I cbet, he folded. He's raised all but one of his SB's.

B: 1,220
Hero (SB): 1,780

Pre-Flop: (30) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (SB)
<font color="red">Hero raises to 60</font>
<font color="red">BB raises to 100</font>
Hero calls 40

Flop: (200) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">BB bets 200</font>
Hero calls 200

Turn: (600) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [ 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ] (2 Players)
<font color="red">BB bets 500</font>, Hero???

I didn't raise the flop because I didn't want to be in the unenviable position of facing a shove on that flop. (Perhaps I should have?) I just felt like I had a vulnerable made hand, but one that was made enough that it could withstand a lot of turns.

Frankly, I was hoping he'd shut down or bet smaller on the turn. The turn bet seems unreasonably large, so I think it could easily be AK, AJ, JJ, TT, 88 etc. Then again, it could also be 66, 77, 99, QQ+, AQ, KQ, QJ, Q9, 8T.

Looking back, the flop bet also seems like a scared bet. Not many $11 players are in the habit of putting big money in with the best of it on the flop.

So is this a fold? Or is it a shove?

I'd like to raise 500-550 that flop, fold to shove. Call seems too weak, many draws on the board.
As played, you have no information about opp's hand. And this is only a 10th hand. I think fold is ok.

Push flop. As played, push turn.

Push flop? Why not raise instead?

Push turn? Do we have any fold equity here? (I doubt it.) Is his range wide enough that shoving would be profitable?

Raise flop to 600 and call a shove.

We can't raise to 550 with effective stacks of 1200ish and fold to a shove.

Why not just shove and put our opponent to the last guess for his chips?

Either is fine. My point was mainly that we can't raise to 550 and fold to a shove with such ridiculous pot odds.

Nothing wrong with calling flop and shoving turn sometimes.

A lot of players at these levels that min 3-bet with strong hands will bet/fold flop but if called on flop they will generally fire another with a range that you're ahead of (aka the turn bricks and he has AK, AJ, AT, KJ, JJ, TT type stuff).

Waiting to see a safe turn and allowing him to bluff into you with a large portion of his range is often the best play in these low buyin game scenarios.

Another point to make is a lot of players might just get it in on the flop with all of those hands mentioned, in that case raising the flop is the best play.

I just find that as a whole players in 5-33s can get away from hands a lot easier on the flop than on the turn and that if you flat their bets or check OOP they bet out way too often.
