I just feel like it is never a fold otr and maybe a call or jam.
I feel like I will have a few 7x in my range and sometimes slowplays.

What 7x do you have? Really a few only... 97s with the x/c flop, i dont think that you x/c with 87s, i prefer bet that hand on flop.
I think that if you have strong hands are flush, and some QJ that you can mixed betting or checking flop.

Flop i prefer bet with QQ vs a villain that fold 42% 3bet, BUvsBB, but you can mixed.

As Played, blocking QJ, and flushes with the Qs, i think that is not crazy to jam, if he can bet/folding sets. His line looks like a value heavy with bet/x/bet, we only win vs some combos of Jacks. I dont know if he will take that line with AsX.
But if you x/c Flop, x-x Turn when the flush come, and x-jam river, think that you have to do this line with flushes. I prefer this line when OTF the T or 9 are of other suit, not the 2, because you can easily x/c flop with a lot of pair+FD, and you have more combos of flushes at the river. When the T and 9 are the suits OTF you have less FDs that x/c Flop.

But this is my opinion, let see what said who knows :)

Good luck ! And sorry for my poor english =P I hope you understand all what i want to said :)

I asked a very good crusher and he told me we have to x/c. Our hand is strong enough to call and we could turn it into bluff. So really both options are fine.
I dont think he has alot of sets tbh. I can turn this hand into bluff in some % of the time

If your flop strategy involves checking flush draws and QJ at reasonable frequencies, then you get away with raising here. But having a relevant blocker does not mean you can go nuts.
