50 plo weird spot with a weakish wrap

Alright, here's a hand I played a while ago.  I will post my thoughts and question below the HH.

My in-game thoughts:

On flop I have a 12-card wrap, with very few nut outs (Ac, 6c, 6d, 6s).  I have position though, so when SB donks into us I thought I had an easy flat.  When BTN shoved for a bit more and SB just flatted that, I didn't put SB on a very strong hand because he would have just jammed with them.  At this point I am getting about 20% on a call, so calling seem to be the only play.

On turn he jams again, which is a bit weird.  First off, I am beating all his draws with my overpair.  If I had a naked wrap, things would have been very different.  Second, I didn't think he had many sets.  I couldn't do the range analysis in-game, but this seemed like an easy all to me at this point.


Later thoughts:

It's worth noting that when SB leads into me and the short-stacked BTN, his range should be fairly strong.  Against the range of Q3+, A54+, 2+:Ahh I am a slight dog (42%), and raising makes little sense with our actual hand w/o any heart.  However, when he flats BTN's shove I think we can take out some hands from his range; he will probably stack off with Q3+, A54:hh, 654:hh, Q654 because my range shouldn't look very strong, and BTN's shove means little to him.  Against this range I have 51% on flop, and 59% on turn.

What if he has some slowplayed sets on the turn?  If we assume he slowplays QQ, our equity on turn drops to 42%.  Still, not enough to consider folding.  If we assume he slowplays QQ and 33, we still have 41%, and this is due to the fact that a tight SB range shouldn't have many 33 at all. Including Q3 doesn't change much; we still have 38% and have an easy call.


Question:

It just occurred to me though, that maybe we could stack off on the flop against SB's presumed decent-but-not-nutty range, and that can be a better play than peeling on flop and stacking off on good turns?  My in-game plan was to dodge hearts (barring Ah, maybe) on the turn, but given that we are in a good shape against everything that is not 2p+ or wrap+FD, it might be possible that jamming flop can be more +EV than my actual plan.


What do you think?
