Poker Stars, $0.50/$1 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

BTN: $100 (100 bb)
SB: $295.44 (295.4 bb)
BB: $120.48 (120.5 bb)
UTG: $91.11 (91.1 bb)
MP: $100 (100 bb)
Hero (CO): $197.06 (197.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q K
2 folds, Hero raises to $2.50, BTN calls $2.50, SB raises to $9.50, BB folds, Hero calls $7, BTN calls $7

Flop: ($29.50) 5 7 3 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $18.80, BTN calls $18.80, SB folds

Turn: ($67.10) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $21.50, Hero folds

SB 23/19/6.2 after 2.7k hands
SB squeeze 5.5
cbet F3b 79

BTN 24/20/8 after 701 hands
call squeeze as caller 67 (2/3)
stab flop vs missed cbet 42

I dont like bluffing without equity, but is this a reasonable spot to steal on the flop, despite not having backdoors at all? SB will likely give up after checking flop 3way, so I only have to make BTN fold to succeed. Sizing? I assumed I cant get away with much smaller sizing on this board vs two regs. I am deep with SB, so I can rep all sets, 88-QQ overpairs, and tons of flushdraws after calling pre.

Or just give up, and x/fold?

Hey duder1n0,

Theoretically we don't just want to be stabbing with random overcards. BTN has to have at least something after he overcalls squeeze even though his range is likely capped. He can easily have something like a PP that is not folding to 1 bet, so it's preferable to bet with hands on the flop which will have more frequent barreling opportunities.

As played, turn is fine.
