Hero (UTG): t1980 66 BBs
UTG+1: t1490 49.67 BBs

SB: t1470 49 BBs
BB: t1440 48 BBs

Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is UTG with A :diamond: A :club:
Hero raises to t90, 4 folds, CO calls t90, 2 folds, BB calls t60

Flop: (t285) J :heart: Q :heart: 2 :heart: (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t180, CO raises to t510, BB folds, Hero folds

Villain is MT no other reads.
Raise in multiway pot on monotone flop is very strong move.
Bet/fold vs thinking opponent is best line here, right?

My experience tells me that raises on this kind of flops are often just draws (FD, straightdraw)or weak hands (Qx) which have to be protected.
Because of the deadmoney I think I'm gonna shove it with the overpair.

Hey Proky!

Well, just because villain is MT it doesn't mean he is good. I'd assume that he isn't folding, however...
I think villain can do this with AhKx or AxKh, AQ (with or without the Ah), even AK without any hearts, KQ (if he calls with it pre), and a couple of pps with a heart. I don't think I can let go of the overpair.
