I'm not quite sure how this should be played but is our hand strong enough to shove turn?

Imo villain has most likely single pair Jx or Qx? I guess stronger hands he would raise? We have some fold equity and I guess our 2 overs, nut FD + nut gutshot is doing ok? And we have less than a pot behind.

Hi there, I think you could have raised bigger preflop and call a shove. Anyway, I am not sure we bet ourselves especially this big coz we get pretty much committed to the pot and will have to call or fold a shove. You don't bet for value on the flop coz you are almost always behind against 2 opps and if you bet small as a bluff it will often look like a weakness and you may get check/raise especially with this pretty dry board which puts you in a difficult spot of a shove or fold decision. I think check/fold is okey here.
I would shove on the turn in your situation coz you definetely get the right price for the risk 1/1.9 odds to win the hand and 1/3 pot odds + you have fold equity.

The flop Cbet against 2 players with only a draw on a pretty wet board is already thin I think.
I would check it down already, because I expect both players are most likely passive on the $1 stakes and you will never let them fold a better draw and hand.

As played you get off course another draw on the turn, but still I don’t think a random player will fold to often a Q or something to make a shove +EV here.

Cheers,
