Zoom 200: everything but a pair, 160bb deep

BN: $375.36
SB: $357.73
BB: $321.65 (Hero)
UTG: $410.22
HJ: $100
CO: $221.39
Preflop ($3.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt J 9 8 6
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO raises to $5, BN calls $5, SB folds, Hero calls $3
Flop ($16.00) 5 7 Q (3 Players)
Turn ($16.00) 5 7 Q 2 (3 Players)

I edited out the flop action out to keep the discussion open. Turn was actually a 2d :)


Our hand feels like it wants to be lead out on the flop, but I think when we start facing action we are not doing that greatly. Against AQ**hh our hand is doing everything but well, and even against "bare" NFD we don't have much equity.

Other than that, by leading out we give the information away that we are intersted in the pot, and we also hardly make Qx hands fold (maybe by the guy in the sandwich, although he still can call)

How do play this spot, which seems so easy on first sight but somewhat more difficult on the second? What do you do facing different actions after betting and checking? Or to put it simple: What does your gameplan look like here ?
