Default Middle 2 Pair Live

Poorly played but not entirely out of line 5/5 NL club game. 9 handed. My stack size is just over 600, I cover both Villains, my image is tight, solid "plays two hands an hour" (I actually see a decent number of flops but this is commentary from a guy with like a 75 VPIP).

Qd7d in the SB. Someone in MP opens for $15, BTN calls, I call (bad, I know), BB calls. 4 to flop, $60.

BB is a maniac who plays every pot and shows down any two. BTN is a bit of a nit, extremely tight, never shows down anything bad.

Flop AQ7r. I check (good? bad?), BB bets 45, BTN calls 45, I call 45.
Turn 5, puts backdoor heart draw up. I check, BB bets 45, BTN suddenly pops it to $145. Hero .... ?

If you call, what is your plan on rivers of:
Q/7
Low Heart
Total brick (3d?)
Broadway Card

I fold the turn, but if you're calling I like a c/c on a river blank and c/f on a heart or broadway card.

I definitely think the turn is a fold though, against a solid opponent I don't see what you're beating that he raises on the turn. Either way you're not closing the action here and you'll likely face a big river bet from the BTN.

If your going to play this PF then why not squeeze given your image? Calling seems awful given stacks, images, and hand....

On the flop why are you c/c'ng? Seems like the worst possible line you could have taken. Again, with BTN just calling, why not c/r. Or better yet b/3b this flop?

I guess a fold is fine on the turn but I would never have gotten in that spot to have to fold this hand here.
