Please post your thought process.
Preflop and flop ok.
I don't mind bet-bet-check line. You get maximum value and protection. You can also fold to the usually value-heavy line when someone donks OTR. I think it is even more effetive when the pot is mw because you don't get bluffed at all.
Turn is a clear fold. You don't bet/call here with TP 3 way on that scary board.

when days about to end, than turn card fills many straights and two pairs, you overplayed the hand a lot.

Ez turn fold. When you call such turn bets, what is your thought process ? On what river card are you willing to call more and get to showdown?

You can call diamond flush draws/two pair/sets and basically hands that can improve to nuts. Top pair second kicker is not good here - not even for a standard 100BB spot and here you are even 250 BB deep..

You are very likely drawing dead on this turn vs straights and sets.

offtopic: I like the button:

BTN: 100 BB (VPIP: 9.21, PFR: 0.92, 3Bet Preflop: 1.16, Hands: 547)

Betting turn against 2 loose passive players seems fine, but than you need to fold against a big check/raise for sure.

Cheers,

I don’t like the small flop bet. You are quite strong. I usually pot bet strong, but vulnerable hands. Make your opponent pay if he is on a draw. It is too easy to call .44 Pot, 4 BB flop bet. As I indicated in your previous post, I don’t like backing down to large raises or All In when I have Top Pair-Top Kicker (TPTK). But, you only have Top Pair–Strong Kicker (TPSK). I fold to large bets or raises with TPSK. The sizing of your Turn bet was fine, but you have to fold to the Raise.

Easy fold OTT. 250 deep TP is not nearly enough to play for stacks. No redraws, you have to call OTR too, or you must fold now. Calling OTT and folding OTR makes no sense, you are just burning money. PF and OTF is fine.
