Final Board: Q 7 T 8 3
Hero mucked A J and lost (-$4.70 net)
CO mucked and won $9.12 ($4.42 net)

Villain seems quite competend. I should be folding this pre imo but as played should I be c/shoving flop here?

Against a range of TT+ I have 44.87% equity.

I know when he barrels turn that he is propably on KK or QQ, and I need 37% equity to make the call on the turn (If I calculated that correctly) while my equity in the hand is 33.18% but given the implied odds I have given the stack sizes the call must be good?

A weird spot for me, any input is welcome.

Hello,

I would also recommend folding this one preflop, or if you want to continue you could turn in into bluff with 4betting.

On this board I prefer to go for a check/raise. We have massive equity, also we can make him fold better hands such as JJ/AK and even against sets we aren't in bad shape.

As played on flop, turn call is fine. You don't need 37% equity though, you only need 27.

Best,
Plamen
