Okay so here's my thought process (in bold):

partypoker - $5+$0|50/100 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (CO): 2,170
BTN: 1,340 (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 18.10, 3Bet Preflop: 2.70, Hands: 138)
SB: 1,760 (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 8.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
BB: 1,940 (VPIP: 13.33, PFR: 12.36, 3Bet Preflop: 3.51, Hands: 2,374)
UTG: 6,110 (VPIP: 41.18, PFR: 19.35, 3Bet Preflop: 11.11, Hands: 34)
UTG+1: 1,790 (VPIP: 41.67, PFR: 22.22, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
MP: 2,090 (VPIP: 8.33, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
MP+1: 2,800 (VPIP: 41.67, PFR: 30.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)

SB posts SB 50, BB posts BB 100

Pre Flop: (pot: 150) Hero has Q♣ J♣

UTG calls 100, UTG+1 calls 100, fold, fold, Hero calls 100, fold, SB calls 50, BB checks

UTG and UTG+1 are unknown fish. I have a semi decent hand which I'd like to play but the blinds are a tad too big to raise after the limps, I'd commit 1/4 of my stack in the pot already. Had there not been the limpers I would have raised of course. So I decide to try and limp + check/fold the flop if don't hit.

Flop: (500, 5 players) Q♥ 2♦ 9♥
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 bets 500, Hero calls 500, fold, fold, fold

So the pot sized bet is a bit scary... but I do have the top pair and an alright kicker. I'm not ready to raise but wouldn't like to fold either. Also I believe there may be some bluffs in his range. So I decide to go with calling the bet and reassess the situation on the turn.

Turn: (1,500, 2 players) T♦
UTG+1 bets 1,190 and is all-in, Hero calls 1,190

I get an OESD on top of my top pair and it was not a :heart: either so I call the all in.

River: (3,880, 2 players) 7♣

Results:

Spoiler

UTG+1 shows K♠ K♥ (One Pair, Kings)
(Pre 82%, Flop 81%, Turn 82%)
Hero shows Q♣ J♣ (One Pair, Queens)
(Pre 18%, Flop 19%, Turn 18%)
UTG+1 wins 3,880

Hi there! Tbh, I don't mind how you've played the hand. There are a lot of re-shove stacks and if we raise even small, it still makes our life "meeeh" on a shove. So preflop-I am happy with it. We have position and a very playable hand. I wouldn't do this with 85s though f.e , just very strong suited connectors-87s, T9s, 89s...hands like this. Postflop-it really depends on the player. Top pair is not such a strong hand in a multiway pot, however-SPR is really low. TBH, unless he is really tight and timid player, I would play the same way like you. I am thinking about shoving on the flop, just because I don't think he has many bluffs and also we are not folding even if get a 3-way all in action. So maybe shoving is better. This way, you are not put in even worse spot if the heart comes on the turn and you are in a 3-way pot.

As played-turn is fine.
