30NL semibluff with a straight draw

Blinds: $0.15/$0.30 (5 Players) CO: $13.65
BN: $29.21
SB: $39.72 (Hero)
BB: $28.15
UTG: $33.24
Preflop ($0.45) Hero is SB with Q K
UTG calls $0.30, 2 folds, Hero raises to $1.50, BB calls $1.20, UTG calls $1.20
Villain is are
34/10/1.6 and successfully bluffed in the past
24/5/1.4 really could have any two cards after calling flop
Flop ($4.50) T 7 3
Hero checks, BB bets $1.28, UTG calls $1.28, Hero calls $1.28
Turn ($8.34) T 7 3 J
Hero checks, BB bets $6.34, UTG calls $6.34, Hero raises to $36.94 and is all in, BB calls $19.03 and is all in, UTG folds

I think the villain would bet like this with top pair hands or better and would continue betting a hand like AT into two people and would lay it down to a shove. Obviously nothing better is folding.

I am also more worried about the caller in retrospect.

Theoretically this would mostly depend on what your SB range would be there, but you have no blockers to the nuts, 89 was open ended on the flop so 100% continues in both their ranges on the turn if it was there on the flop. You block a decent amount of combos of top pair and second pair and you are doing it into two people that seem to be loose and likely won't fold their strongest non straights and can both have the nuts. I don't like it. In that game you gotta under bluff probably and if you do it with any KQ you are probably over bluffing.

Btw, why do you think that villain would play it like that? Not saying he wouldn't, but you gotta have a reason to think it or the whole process becomes flawed.

It's not a guess. I've seen him overplay a flopped top pair like that before.

I don't like it.

when I reviewed it, I had a feeling people wouldnt and I appreciate that you took the time to explain why.
