So I opened 79s MP Not my standard open but i was playing a few tables i decide to make the call vs 3bet due to guy playing 73/47 think its a standard flop call?. when the turn comes Qs my plan is to jam if he bets as it makes it less likely he's got one and it puts his over pairs in a shitty spot we have Qx and boats in our range too witch we can happily rep is my thought process logical or was my play terrible?

villain calls my turn jam with Ad 5s

fold pre especially because of the maniac whale behind you (how many hands?), and I would fold against the 3bet because I don't want this oop against a maniac.

Ideally, we want a hand strong enough to just sit there and let him spew range vs range postflop.

His call on the turn is amazing and I wouldnt bank on it again

(For future reference it's good to include sample size with your preflop stats...74/43 could literally only be n=19 hands so you can't put too much weight into it, other than he's a fun player)

Fold pre instead of open was also my first thought.
Flop is good.
Turn...V is not folding an OP for a minraise on the turn (which is probably correct even though he can't spell GTO), so putting his OPs in a shitty spot is not part of the gameplan OTF.

As this hand plays out I think you are better off just XC XC XC vs this profile, river feels a little uncomfortable, but you're getting a good price. That was nice of him to match your last 40BB with Ahigh+5high FD but actually this SD illustrates even more why you don't want to XR turn. Plenty of fun players are capable of double barreling a junk hand like that but also capable to realize it's time to fold vs your line and only call you with TT+, QX, AXss/cc, KJss/cc, KTss/cc, so on average this semi-bluff would be shutting out villains bluffs and keeping in his best hands, losing yourself money. This is what timeslot meant by don't bank on it again.

Semi-bluff turn because you botched it pre is just compounding mistakes and punting. I'm not saying I've never done it before but it's just important for you to catch yourself doing this, give pause, and reevaluate each street as best as you can. Play less tables for sure. Maybe don't play zoom while you're learning? It will help you to be a thinking, winning player as you keep moving up the stakes!
