Aria daily 3 tables left. Blinds 800/1600/200. Chip average is about 35K but my table has a number of deep stacks. I am chip leader with 120k. top 12 paid.
The next biggest stack is the main villain, an Asian regular who seems to play too many hands but plays very aggressively to compensate and rarely goes to showdown. He has made a number of final tables and is generally difficult to play against. We each rarely believe the other has a hand. He had 105k.
Third villain is 20 something Russian I’ve never seen before. I’ve only been at his table a few levels. He has 45k
Preflop raise 3600 with JJ. Asian calls button Russian calls BB
Flop (13k) Q65r I decide to bet 5200. Button raises to 12k BB agonizes and tank folds. I’m guessing he folded a queen. I tank call.
Turn (37k) Ts I check. Villain shoves for 80k.
I tanked for a long time here. I don’t see this villain raise a lot of flops, and this flop is really dry so there aren’t many hands he can raise for value. I’m UTG so KK, AA and AQ should all be in my range. Call or fold?
Also, I’m not sure if my flop play is correct here. This may be a better spot to check / call / evaluate.

Since its a multi way pot , i'd go for a c/c and re-evaluate , i just don't think you're going to get called by worse , though u may get called by pairs lower then a Jack Also since its a multi way pot your opponents wiill be playing more straight forward. This is obv a flop you should be c-betting a lot of the time and if these guys are thinking players they should know that so when you check it don't nessercly give away the strength of your hand basically this flop could also hit your range pretty hard imo , you may decide to c/c here with the best candiates like QQ/KK/AA on such a dry flop, so you may get a lot of check back by your opponents that have SDV and not so much bluffing.
anyhow i'd call the flop raise as played and cry fold turn.

Your post is a little contradictory. You say this flop is really dry but it hits our range hard, i tend to disagree. Imo this board does not particularly hit our range that hard as you suggest (original poster did not give our position so this will change how it hits our range). Checking these kinds of boards does tend to give our hand strength away unless we are quite balanced and are checking some AQ, KQ, sets, KK and AA. I would be checking alot of my KQ and AQ on this board as there are not many bad turn cards for us and overcards to the Q make us a better hand whilst possibly giving villains some pairs/draws to their broadways.
