Still call with top 2p when the worst card in the deck hits the river?

looking back i probably should have just called PRF. But now here we are with top 2P. Is it a good line to lead twice? I felt like my hand was to vulnerable to allow a free card. Or is this a x/f on the turn?
As played i know I´m dead when the worst card in the deck hits. But i have to call 31bb into a 177bb pot. Or is this a fold? Thankful for any thoughts.

i'd call pre.

the postflop sizings are very poorly planned, again you put yourself in a river spot where you feel commited, but villain only bets better and checks behind with worse.
overbet jam turn, or size up on the flop, or bet smaller throughout.

It's a call pre, no way you should be 3betting this BB v UTG.
Nice flop. Very drawy, could definitely bet bigger 1$.
Agree with tomaloc.
I personally would go with a 1/2 line on the turn. We don't want to check and give a free card, but we also don't want to over-commit. Generally we should be good if we don't get raised on the turn giving us an option to ship on the river (depending on the run-out).

I prefer only call pre, as played cbet is ok if you have QQ and JJ in your 3bet range, turn ok bet ma with a blockbet or check call.. I don't like pot here.

As played it is sick :(

agree with the answers.

after making this unusual 3bet, this hand is actually very complex, as QJs is outside the usually very narrow preflop ranges for this action. Depending on how you analyse the ranges, you may or may not be able to play this for value despite the flush turncard.
