BU: $11.47 (229 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.07) Hero is UTG with T K
Hero raises to $0.15, 1 fold, CO calls $0.15, 2 players fold, BB calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.47) 7 3 5 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, CO checks

BB bets $0.45, Hero calls $0.45, CO folds

BB bets $1.31, Hero ??

Is this hand ok to just call or raising is makes more sense.
I called and won but not sure I didn't give up too much value with a call.

I would probably fold the turn to the PSB when Bb leads into 2 players in multiway pot, seems very strong like 2 pair+ which KT isn’t doing great against, BB’s range can have all sorts of junky two pairs etc. On the river I’m never raising because he can still have some sets and possibly random 64s , his range is polarized when he pots turn and pots river, we sre getting 2:1 pot odds , we beat 10 combos of suited two pairs and lose to about 14 combos so I think we can call. Assuming he plays his worse two pairs in this fashion.

Turn is borderline where opponent has all the better hands, like sets and straights, or AT. Your ahead against QT JT and some draws. Folding or calling idk it depends probably on villian. But i dont mind the turn call.

Dont raise the river, you are only isolating yourself against better hands, as you can expect villian to fold all worse hands, and it becomes more or less faceup.
Also you got lucky on the river hitting your two pair where you get a nice + ev spot by just calling villians potsize bet.

It depends on the villain in this hand if I would call or shove the river for value. Against a weaker player I would shove and against a regular I would call.
