Hi, burdiganoasa,
I assume that the "mss" in the title is "Mid-Stack Strategy".

If so, I suggest that you re-read the material on MSS

MSS is designed to be used with a 40BB stack, and yours is larger than that, but not quite big enough for BSS.
As such, hands like JQs don't really have anywhere to go.

If you do play them, you have to be looking to get the money in, but the problem with these hands is that players with big stacks aren't afraid of your stack size, which reduces your fold equity.

MSS and SSS before it rely heavily on aggression and the fold equity it generates.
I did not check, but I think opening 2.4 BB is not enough in MSS.

My last thought has to do with fast-fold poker.
I see SO many people with mid-sized stacks on these tables. This is not good because MSS was designed to attack big stacks -- too many mid stacks at the same table isn't the ideal situation.

As played, I think your flop bet is OK, but a bit bigger might have helped.
Then you got outdrawn, which is just unlucky.

Cheers,
VS

I do not like the turn push mw with our hand. No FE, and some villan can easily have a stronger Qx. Fd is aldo possible.

On turn, I call his min bet because 2 guys already called flop( his range has fd, AQ, or some nuttish hand).

If turn is headsup and my or villain stack is less than pot( maybe 2/3-) I gonna shove for charge draw.
