also is PF standard for you, it's a fold for me

it's close, I would fold QJ77 and probably fold without the bonus suit. depends a lot on comfort level at table
I remember no timebank, not sure beside that on the timing

btw, I really have no idea wtf to do here, torn between just shipping it, calling and leading a blank turn, folding a club turn, or bluffing a club turn

so I'm guessing you hate my fold? :P
At the time I think I was thinking that BU would not do this with a draw since surely MP has clubs also and it seemed insane with K8. But looking back if he thinks I'm just c betting and he has the nut draw that makes it a perfect time to raise.
in general I've been trying not to felt middle set or top two without reads or a decent back up draw, esp three way. Have given up some equity for sure but also have dodged some top sets. Policy is still in the evaluation stage. I would often check here but was hoping MP would shove over.

I think I leveled myself, I would pretty much never c bet here OOP with nothing but I don't know why I think he would know that. or i may just be being resulted.

I'm trying to get a better feel of the situation by comparing it to a Holdem situation.
Is middle set here kind of like having Top pair top kicker in holde'm?
My 2 cents:
He could be raising 33, KK, K8, and nut club draws. Given reads it seems like most of his range is KK. If I had 33 or Clubs I may raise a bit more to shut out draws/increase bluff%. Or possibly just call and re-evaluate on the turn.
As for now...I would probably go into check-call mode and lose alot of money. At these levels could you even bluff a turned club against a guy with top set?? I would never try this at microstakes. And it seems like he would atleast peel off the turn, leaving you to bluff a non paired board on the river.

without a rock solid read + no PFR + 6 handed + 105 big blind deep only + pretty bloated pot...
= I think I have to shut my eyes (very important this bit) and ship it in. Either shove it or min raise it and shove any turn.
