6-handed
UTG & MP limp, Sb opens 5bb J♦:Q♦:T♥:A♠:
Bb (50bb), UTG & MP all call.
Flop: T♦:Q♥:6♥:
Sb checks, Bb bets 5bb (25%), UTG calls, MP raises to 19bb (40% pot?)
Sb folds.

Okay so in my experience when players small bet like Bb it's usually an indication that he doesn't have a made hand. So I was licking my lips waiting my turn to insta-raise 66%. But when MP raises he has 0 bluffs, his range is at least top twos and strong combo draws imo. I'm not doing very badly vs him, but with 2 other players behind that could squeeze (unlikely though) + being oop I chose to fold.
Thinking back about it now, that fact that I have bdfd, T♥: + :Jx: should have weighted me towards calling here.

Preflop wise I would say our hand is kind of close to bottom of range. So often spot will be 3-4way oop.

Pot is already very sizable on flop. For SPR 5 our hand is strong even in 4way pot. With MP raise it's 44bb meaning we can basically go allin with 100bb stack. Which would be my play after checking.

We should often check in this spot being oop versus three but imo our hand does make solid cbet with bdfd, nut gs and some overcard value versus another QT.

So time to get it in and look for some protection in process.

I mean I would just go ahead and c-bet. We have a lot of turns and we don't want to give any free cards. We have so many key cards that I wouldn't be surprised to see it check through. Better to try this with a dry QQ or something which at least unblocks some stronger stabs. But yah I really prefer to just continue betting since we have so many good turns we can continue easily on. You are right to be concerned about MP but we should continue (stack off) in spite of his show of strength.

My creative juices flowing , tried to be fancy. As you guys wrote it's a simple gii spot considering SPR.

Fancy play syndrome (FPS) most of the times means giving up money. Especially at lower stakes. We see there bad calls and even horrible calls on our standards, that there is no reason to go tricky 99% of times. Just plain and straight forward valuebetting. I would pot the flop in the first place as opponents are limping (and far from good, solid TAG players). As played, smile a little and shove it in.

Lol I didn't realize that's an actual term used in poker.
