Hi

It is me again. This hand really frustrated me tonight, wondering if anyone could give me a feedback.

Villain made small raises and I had the believe that he has connected the flop with T. Probably I should have read the sign that he was not scared of the Ace and just fold on the river.

Villain is a 13/6/1.

Really tough to let these go.
The fact that the flop is 3-way makes it hard to assert yourself.

Opponent's hand is very well disguised, but a clue lies in the passive pre, then aggro post-flop.
Elsewhere there was a hand where villain donked with a very solid hand.

I'm curious to see what the real experts think.
Suggestion: Raise over MPs pre-flop 4BB bet -- I'm just throwing this out there. It may get you into worse trouble...

Cheers,
VS

A 3bet isn't a bad idea pre-flop I think to like 15bb. If you face a 4bet you can still fold.
Calling isn't to bad ether at a full ring table.
Post-flop is tricky. I wouldn't mind the call on the small lead of UTG+1 with 2 over cards, but you need to be carefull. He/She can have al kind of hands like 2 pairs, sets and even 87 is possible.
Turn he/she bets extreme small again. You are in a situation that you are drawing dead or have the best hand. That makes it for me a spot that I would call him/her down. It will be tough to get action of worse and if I would raise I would make it at least 20bb. Now you haven't any fold equity at all. River is funky as well, but tough to fold with in mind you need to be right in 18,2% of the time.
