Terrible. Push or fold on the turn.

care to elaborate? I don't have a good read at this point, I think he probably either just hit a lone queen with KQ or hit top two.

This is a flop I'm check-raising to take it right then and there. If somebody plays back at me, I'm done with the hand. If somebody calls, I'm slowing way down. If it checks through, so be it.

The reason for my flop play is: the last thing that I want to do is build this pot.

Fold to the turn raise

Re: losing 1/2 a buy-in with 72
 

stack sizes are awkward for river blocking bet.

I would just fold to the turn minraise.

Re: losing 1/2 a buy-in with 72

it lets you know more clearly where you stand but risks getting it checked through. but given that a hand like 22, 77 is more unlikely due to your own holdings and JJ being unlikely because no preflop raise and J7 a rather strange holding for most players, I am not sure you need to know more clearly where you stand. if it was JT2 and you held T2 the brunson, it might make more sense to check raise as JT is a more believable holding.

personally I think villain hit his top 2 on the turn so in this instance it might not help that much.
