Stacks:
UTG M898 ($237.68)
UTG+1 -AngelEyes- ($234.47)
CO brightboy ($570.80)
BTN finallin ($326.60)
SB AAnkerias ($417.20)
BB Hero ($211.05)

Pre-flop: ($3, 6 players) Hero is BB 9♦ 8♦
2 folds, brightboy calls $2, 1 fold, AAnkerias raises to $10, Hero calls $8, brightboy calls $8

Flop: 8♠ 4♦ 6♠ ($30, 3 players)
AAnkerias bets $24, Hero calls $24, brightboy calls $24

Turn: 6♦ ($102, 3 players)
AAnkerias bets $60, Hero raises to $177.05

AAnkerias- 22/14, af5, wtsd 18, hands 860
Brightboy- 53/11, af2, wtsd 19, hands 200

I chose to push the turn because I think aankerias has an overpair if he's betting twice into 2 people. I also think he'll be willing to fold here (he's a pretty tight player with low wtsd and he knows I'm solid, so me pushing in looks really strong) I think brightboy could call the flop with a huge amount of hands, so I'm not too worried about him. Also if AAnkerias can't fold his overpair I still have decent equity with the fd. The only problem is if someone has a set... Good play?

Also, is preflop call ok?

Also is it ok calling preflop here?

Preflop is very close. The good thing is that you have position on at least one player. The bad thing is that both players have a low WTS - so your implieds are small. Furthermore, AAnerikas may have a wide range isolating the limper in this spot. I'd prefer to 3-bet or fold.

As played: Flop is fine. On the turn, you have 12 Outs, which means ~24% equity. This means 109$ when beeing called. You invest 177$, so if AAnkerias calls, you lose ~67,50. If he folds, you win 162$. Hence, you need to get him to fold in ~30%. Your read is that he may well fold an overpair in this spot and there are way more overpair combis than sets (there's only 1 combi of 66, only 1 of 88!). Hence, given the reads you provided the move is fine. Note that we need also to take brightyboy into accout, but therefore we would need more information (how often he folds to a c-bet/which hands does he continue with, will he stack off with worse, ...).

I kind of thing their low WTS is a good thing: I like to jump in pots with people having high WTS if I have small PP, and I love to jump in pots where people have low WTS with SCs since semibluff are more efficients in these spots. Am I wrong?
