This is a double barrel spot that I'm always a little uncertain about, maybe you kind fellows could help!

Villain is weak and playing 36/22 over 1k hands with 48% fold to flop cbet + 52% fold to turn cbet. WSD% 45.

My Thought Process

BvB so ranges are wide.

Flop: We flop 2nd pair. Not bad. Lots of draws out there. Our SDV is pretty vulnerable so a bet for protection / value should be the best play.

When he calls, I figured his range would roughly be any pair with the board, 77 / 88 / TT, 78, TJ, KT, KJ & club flush draws. There's also random floats too seeing as we're BvB and he has position. If villain had any big hands on this flop, I'd expect him to raise so we're looking okay going to the turn.

Turn: This is where I get a little confused...

We improve to a gutshot along with our 3rd pair but can we fire? We're OOP and bloating the pot if so. If called, we have a lot of awkward rivers to face.

In terms of villains range, the J brings a lot of pair + draw combos. If an A or K came, I would fire. With the J, hands like JT, 9T, KT, KJ etc. improve to pair + draw. I can't see much fold equity. All we're getting to fold most of the time is 6x, 77 and possibly 88. I'd expect all flush draws to call again.

If we check to try and get to showdown OOP, we open ourselves up to getting blown off our hand by bluffs. What's the best play on the turn? =/

In position, I think this hand would have been a lot easier to play. I'd probably check back the turn. Thoughts?

Cheers!
