Villain on BB raises me so I exclude low value cards in his range
Flop misses all big cards so decided to raise.

On turn, should I have quit the bluff or is the continue correct?
IMO sizing is correct, but can't get top set to fold offcourse

PokerStars, $6.69 + $0.81 - Hold'em No Limit - 30/60 (8 ante) - 8 players

UTG: 4,976 (83 bb)
UTG+1: 9,474 (158 bb)
MP: 5,024 (84 bb)
MP+1 (Hero): 4,602 (77 bb)
CO: 5,073 (85 bb)
BU: 3,518 (59 bb)
SB: 4,775 (80 bb)
BB: 4,960 (83 bb)

Pre-Flop: (154) Hero is MP+1 with 8♦ 6♦
3 players fold, Hero raises to 180, 3 players fold, BB 3-bets to 600, Hero calls 420

Flop: (1,294) J♥ 3♠ 7♥ (2 players)
BB bets 300, Hero raises to 1,200, BB calls 900

Turn: (3,694) T♠ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets 2,794 (all-in), BB calls 2,794

River: (9,282) 2♥ (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: 9,282

Showdown:
MP+1 (Hero) shows 8♦ 6♦ (high card, Jack)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 20%, Flop: 5%, Turn: 9%, River: 0%)

BB shows J♣ J♦ (three of a kind, Jacks)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 80%, Flop: 95%, Turn: 91%, River: 100%)

BB wins 9,282

I would just check/call the flop. You don't block any draws and is hard to hit a decent hand if you are up against a value hand. Now you hoping you are up against a flush draw that would fold the turn. Even folding pre-flop isn't to crazy with 86s against a decent 3bet and 86s is already a pretty loose 3x open from MP+1 position.

Yeah have not played holdem recently but folding at every opportunity would not be such bad idea. Flop call is also pretty bad idea. You have no draw and no bdfd...

i personally would fold pre, being 77bb deep from mp1, imo not worth the risk.

Me too and otherwise after the 3bet, but maybe LeonM likes suited hands like 86s.
Even if I would open 2x should be big enough I think.
