SB is loose and does not respect my steal raises.
BB is loose passive over 600+ hands. Have never seen him get out of line.

Standard dumb luck or should I have just called down/folded on the turn?

I think you posted the wrong hand if you seriously considered folding somewhere.

Mostly just wondering about going for the overcall on the turn.

Against a clear loose-passive I might fold this turn if there were straights and flushes possible, or if I had less than *top* two, but not on this particular board. The BB's range of raising hands is probably not wide enough for you to 3-bet though, and since the SB is probably drawing very thin I'd rather keep him in to subsidize the pot.

You gotta be kidding . . . no way I fold top two on the turn -- no way in hell! I don't go for an overcall either, the pot is big. You played it fine. I put SB on a big pocket pair (which is why I can't advocate capping the flop) and BB on . . . well, damn, probably a baby two-pair by his turn raise, by the time he caps looks like low set.

At 10/20 I think you need to hammer your top-two-pair pretty hard. People go nuts with stuff worse than that.

I like the 3bet. Even if your read of BB is that he's LP, this raise could easily just be him hitting that Q and thinking, normally completely correctly, that its better than whoever had TP on the flop. No flushes or straights to worry about, so I like your top two unless BB caps. Once he does, I call down unless I improve.
