      Preflop: Hero is MP with T:spade: T:club:
      UTG raises to $1.25, Hero calls $1.25, 2 folds, SB calls $1, BB folds

      Flop: ($4.25) 2:club: A:diamond: 4:spade: (3 players)
      SB checks, UTG bets $2, Hero calls $2, SB folds

      Turn: ($8.25) 8:heart: (2 players)
      UTG checks, Hero checks

      River: ($8.25) K:spade: (2 players)

      Hi.

      Just fold the Flop. I'm not sure why you are calling here 3way. Calling with TT in HU vs a UTG raiser is fairly marginal already (it's still probably the right play).

      But in a 3way pot, I think UTG doesn't necessarily cbet his entire range here. Also, you need to worry about the SB coming along. So I think this is a clear fold on the flop. maybe if you somehow had KK/QQ it would be closer to a call. But definitely not TT.

      If you call the Flop, and want to turn your hand into a bluff later on, then perhaps you shouldn't even call in the first place. You are basically admitting that you think your showdown value here isn't good enough.

      Thanks.
