SB: $22.76 (113.8 bb)
BB: $20 (100 bb)
CO: $8.58 (42.9 bb)
Hero (BTN): $20 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with Q A
CO folds, Hero raises to $0.42, SB raises to $1.40, BB folds, Hero calls $0.98

Flop: ($3) 9 J 5 (2 players)
SB bets $2.10, Hero folds

Preflop: Standard open and standard defend vs a 3bet.

Flop: I hit BD nut FD + BDSD and two overs, so probably a fine spot for calling (or bluff raising?). I decided to fold because of his sizing, which was quite big for a 3bet pot.

SB: 29/22/10,6/92/67(3)/2,3/163 (VPIP/PFR/3B/FlopCB/3BetPot_FlopCB(#ofOccassions)/AF/H)

Not sure but I think we shouldn´t give up on the flop. True is, that sizing is quite a big but in my experience people often use this sizing as normal even in 3bet pots - if it´s not true on your limit/poker room and you believe it´s a tell, then fold could be OK.

Reasons why I don´t like to fold - he has high 3bet. It´s possible that SB vs BTN will have even much more - like 15 or 20 %. The second reason is that in general people cbet in 3bet pot extremly often on the flop.

So, you would call or try to bluff?

I would call flop and see turn. There are a lot of cards to improve us.

We are behind vs 13-15% range on that flop. In addition the size on flop is on the bigger side and I am more inclined to fold here.

think if we have a raising range on the flop then this should probably be in it

though i think i would call and call again on clubs, T,K... probably ace i guess & not sure about just folding a turned queen

T or a K on turn decrease our equity more.

I don't like bluff-raising, we can only reliably represent a set of nines or Jacks in this situation, which is a small part of our range. Only bluffs will fold here, and against bluffs we have decent equity, so might as well call instead.
