Only 5 players, so I'm essentially MP here.
It seems a bit of a loose open

PokerStars - $0.25 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $133.53 (VPIP: 18.18, PFR: 9.09, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
SB: $31.31 (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 30.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 30)
BB: $13.95 (VPIP: 57.14, PFR: 28.57, 3Bet Preflop: 20.00, Hands: 7)
Hero (UTG): $26.46
CO: $41.60 (VPIP: 27.78, PFR: 22.22, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 37)

SB posts SB $0.10, BB posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has Q♥:T♥:

Hero raises to $0.72, fold, BTN calls $0.72, fold, BB calls $0.47

Flop: ($2.26, 3 players) J♦:A♥:2♦:
BB checks, Hero ???

CBet this or just get out of the hand — I have a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw, but that's it

Is a nice open I think especially if BB has fishy stats. I would just check this 3way, if it was hu without the bu, you could bet like 1/2 or less to force hands like 77 out. I'm mostly check/folding this 3way I think unless he bets like really small (1to2bb). The chance that they have hit this board is simply too high. Sure it sucks if they have like 77 and 44 and bu turns it into bluff, but mostly I think I would just check/fold here.

Not really enough hands for stats.
I saw my choices as
1: check/fold, (hoping for check/check to do a delayed CBet)
2: Bet/Fold — which would mostly like be Bet then just give up on the hand unless I got a glorious runout
3: Check/Call — least likely.

Since I raised UTG, I thought I could easily rep the A, and betting might even force out Aces less that A5.

nah he's not folding Ax, Jx... interesting is what the BU cold calling range is: JTs, J9s, 22 to 88 ? Do you think he is cold calling like A3s pre?

You can try like 3/4 pot bet, not a bad idea, but if they have Ax, I don't think they fold...

You could try to rep a hand like AJ+, but it really depends how both villains are playing. If it was like Q♦:T♦: I would earlier Cbet with more possibilities to win the turn or river. Now I would try to get a free card.

Agreed. A5o or less might though.
BB has odds to call with almost any two. This is the downside (IMO) to small open raises, so from MP I open just less than 3BB
.
I, too am curious about BU's calling range. I pretty much don't have one — which I know is a leak, but not having the initiative post-flop makes it harder to play.

In any case, we'll never know, because they both folded — and that is the upside to having an overly tight image.

Than your tight image worked well this time if they look to that
