BB V UTG OOP 66 OESD

UTG opens usually a tight range so his range contains a lot of pocket pairs.

The way I see this hand:

UTG has a set or an overpair. The UTG is scared that you will outdraw his overpair/set so he bets big on this board.

I think that you played this hand well - you can't really raise otf as a semibluff because villain will not fold given his range, so calling is the best option. On the turn folding is the best option because you are likely beat and you got no odds to call.

WP IMO, would have done the same as villain's range indeed consist of many pocket pairs. You can consider a 1/2 pot donk OTT since you have equity but the outcome would be rather unknown, he can push and you lose more or he can call since he is scare you have the goods and calls a smaller bet and you get a cheap river card.

Flop - I check. UTG bets 1 pot. CO folds. When he bets on a 3-way pot it usually means strenght but the fact that he bets the pot confuses me. I call.

Would you consider donking the flop with our hand?; Would you have called the turn bet?

When he bets 3way it means strenght, when he bets huge, it means even more strenght. I'm still fine with calling the flop because Ax have gutshots and can bet flop like this (and we make a lot of money against those on a 2 turn).
Donking flop doesn't seem very good because our hand isn't that great for value and also we really hate getting raised (which will happen often from overpairs). Turn should be an easy fold, his range is strong and if you hit he will just check back.

I like it as played.
Donking is not that good as we have low p+draw.

WP. Donking is one option and it is not very bad imo but I lean towards x/c. If we hit our straight and go crazy I doubt we can get any value. If we hit our set any any 2x and 7x has a straight. Better let villain do the betting and we just call if we have the odds. OTT it is a fold.

Well played. I would have played it the same. UTG probably has an overpair or a set. I too would have called on the flop in hopes of hitting the straight, and the fold on the turn was the right play. Not getting the right price to chase the draw. Again, well played.

Well played, Macqas.
Since we have some outs and implied odds, we can call one street (villain is likely not givin up at the moment a straight card hit, putting at least one more bet in).
turn he pots again, and this time the cost by calling goes up, making fold correct.
