Pre Flop: (1.4 SB) Hero is BB with K :club: A :club:
1 fold, CO raises, 1 fold, SB calls, Hero calls

Flop: (6 SB) 5 :heart: 6 :diamond: 9 :club: (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets, SB calls, Hero calls

Turn: (4.5 BB) 5 :club: (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets, SB folds, Hero calls

River: (6.5 BB) A :heart: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, Hero calls

My thoughts:
PF: call here to not split my BB-def range
F: Even for a CO open the Flop doesn't really hit villains range. I will often have the best hand here + I have (backdoor) outs. So I call the cbet + call
T: good card for me, CO will still be betting a large portion of air. I could have x/r here as a semi bluf but I worry it will isolate me vs better
R: seem to me to be the perfect cards (maybe I'm wrong). So I raise villain... after he 3bets I probably should have folded, but I hoped he had AJ-AK and got carried away (happens alot on these stakes).

My main point is the River, is my x/r/c good? or should i have just called - donk/called - x/r/f ? and why?
Any insights into the hand would be appriciated.

pf: most ppl will 3bet this 3way, but call might be ok as well. i dont know :)
river is tricky because we underplayed our hand on the earlier streets. villain probably wouldn't suspect that we have TPTK. the correct play is probably donk/call or x/r/c, not sure which

on the SB I would 3-bet to hopefully get HU vs OR. on BB a 3b will not chase anyone out, just make my hand easier to play against for the CO.

preflop raise is purely for value. of course if somebody folds, that's even better :), but it's not going to happen very often.
you're right about the hand being harder to play if you have a 3bet range, upside is that you win some extra pocket change from the preflop action :)
