MP is 22/14 over ~80 hands, SB is 45/8 over ~50 hands.

Should I have folded the flop or the turn here? On the flop I couldn't work out what to do, I was either behind better sets or WA of big pairs/flush draws. On the turn I had a brain explosion and spazzed out

Why on earth are you just calling the flop? SB looks like he is obviously scared of a flushdraw with his over bet. MP could have a set I guess, or a 2pr or a big combo draw which comes out to a hell of a lot more combos that you beat than ones that you are behind. I probably bump it up to 5.00 on the flop and call a shove. I mean I guess at 5NL a shove would probably work just as well. Turn is just awful.

[00:29] <daven> dc, why not check turn behind
[00:30] <DC> daven
[00:30] <DC> on my hand?
[00:30] <daven> yep
[00:30] <DC> because I am drunk
[00:30] <daven> nice reason
[00:30] <daven> no further questions

i think this is certainly a sicker spot than DC is giving credit for since MP is rarely showing up with a draw that we're doing better than flipping against, and we can't be certain he even takes this line with TT-JJ (postflop reads would be helpful here).

that being said, even if he has just QQ+, sets and combo draws here, we're still ahead and should try to get as much money in on the flop because so much of the deck scares values out of his hand.
