Final Board: 8 6 5 3 A
Hero showed Q Q and won $3.56 ($1.70 net)
BB mucked 5 K and lost (-$1.86 net)

opponent is unknown

when he raises all in on that type of board I expect something like a big flush draw with broadways or so any T+T+ card like AK etc. since I'm not even blocking any diamond on this board with my pockets.
I'm also putting him on some ace of diamonds with top pair or Axs anyway and of course against my range any set but I don't think a set would be played like that at these stakes

I still believe this is a good call what would you guys say?

Yep, easy call. Usually a flush draw but even if he has somehow binked 2pair we still aren't in bad shape. Could be a worse overpair also.

His range will probably look something like this imo:

Equity Win Tie
BU 49.63% 48.65% 0.98% JJ-55, K7s, Q7s, 98s, 86s+, 74s+, 65s, AdKd, AdQd, KdQd, AdJd, KdJd, QdJd, AdTd, KdTd, QdTd, JdTd, Ad9d, Kd9d, Qd9d, Jd9d, Td9d, Ad8d, Kd8d, Qd8d, Jd8d, Td8d, Ad7d, Jd7d, Td7d, 9d7d, Ad6d, Ad5d, Ad4d, Ad3d, Ad2d

SB 50.37% 49.38% 0.98% QsQc

I'm actually struggling with monster pockets on flop play... that really makes me sick when I get into this kind of situation

A lot of it depends on flop texture. The more draws on the flop, the more happy you should be about stacking off with overpairs.

On something like J♣:7♥:3♠: it would be a lot more concerning to get jammed on like this (though I would still wonder why someone would do a massive overbet jam with a set)
