I didn't put him on a backdoor draw at all as it was inconsistent his bets and the boards, so I didn't need protection as there's no 2 club hand he could play this way except QT or T8, but so be it.
But I didn't feel comfortable with trips and ace kicker either, so I didn't want to raise for value on any street... on the flop, a raise would have made me pot committed which I tend to avoid if possible. On the turn, as said, don't believe the draw but a weird feeling about this hand I didn't trust.

this play really depend on reads or stats

the conservative play is to fold the flop.
As played you have to go broke at the turn
raise 25$-30$ call push push river.

preflopplay

fold is not wrong, maybe squeeze, call depends.

Call i like vs postflop bad players


The players were horrendeous.
The thing is that these opponents I was facing could just as easily do this with QJ as with 99/44. I like pot control in weird situations like this, usually I'm not wrong when I have this feeling, but I can't fold either because my hand's too good to lay down.


If MP2 is unknown squeeze pf.
If MP2 is loose, squeeze pf
If MP2 is tight I rather like to fold than call pf.

Don´t think that BB has anything, so re-raise 20$ /call shove is one option.
On the turn I would play for BB stack. Seems like draw, so re-raise 36$/call shove.
