I'm not sure about my line on the turn. I think the ace is a terrible card, as it completes the straight and gives better two pairs than mine... But with a SPR of 2.6 maybe I just have to bet the turn and get it in. Thanks.

It depends per villain, but most of the time I would go for a value Cbet on turn and if villain shoves you can still fold.

you are correct, A is s bad card for you, i think more of an issue with a better 2 pair, villain also has a nut advantage on you though the hand, there is a possibility that he has KK, AA- if you had those 2 hands you probably would be 3 betting them in BB as well.

I Think after you raise on the flop you need to lead the turn, even if is a block bet of 30-40% pot, then if you get raised fold.

I like the fold, we are beating basically AQ, villain could have all sets, better 2-pair, AK is now better and like you mentioned QT is a straight.
