Hand played without stats or reads...

I was pretty confident that I was ahead at any point during the hand. Of course, I am behind against AA (1 combo), AQ (6 combos), 88 (3 combos) and splitting against AK... However, I had decided on not folding. The question I asked myself during the hand was whether it made any difference if I just called the turn instead of sticking it in...I guess if he is on a pure bluff, he would still fold. If he had a draw, my raise is too small to harm his fd odds (actually it is just enough to charge him for an unlikely oesd and to charge him for rivering e.g. random 2pair or trips which might be enough to justify sticking it in on turn). He is getting 4.5-1 on the turn. He could and should still fold his KQ.

Or am I just off here and I should fold the turn?

Hi, I wouldn't fold the turn if I were you in that spot despite his big 3-bet pre once he makes that 1/2 pot bet on turn to me it shows that villain isn't that confident in his hand so we should exploit that, however given that we have no info on villain if his bet on turn would be something around 0.95 - 1.10c I would fold.

I don't like it pre, flatting vs mp open is fine but I'm backraising this close to 100% vs SB squeeze. as played I wouldn't be conficent to have the best hand every single time here, as a matter of fact, this exact board is kinda scary, he will have every single AQ and QQ combo, along with 1 AA combo and maybe some 88, Q8 or whatever he likes to squeeze pre. ott the raise is not like super bad but I like calling especially with the K♣:, but raising is fine considering spr etc
