I'm guessing my first call on the river is still ok, but should I have folded after getting raised, as a lot of draws rivered at least 2-pair here?

If they river 2-pair you actually still beat some of them (i.e. T9 hitting 2-pair)

However this is a gross spot and one of the few times I'd consider folding top pair.

This is due to a couple of things

1) The BB has taken the initiative on a very scary board into 2 players including a player who obviously has a piece of the board in some way, this could certainly be 2 pair or a really wierdly played trip 6's and of course it could be QT or Q9 or one of the many straights.

2) You've called showing you have a hand good enough to showdown but not good enough to raise, probably a pair of some description more than likely top pair based on prior action. (KT's probably the worst hand I'd give you here)

3) The CO has raised knowing both of the above so he's either a total lunatic or he can beat Top Pair. (Protected Pot raise)

4) The BB has called so now we know he's not bluffing so that is now 1 hand which believe it can beat top pair and another thinking it has a chance vs that hand.

Add all the above together and KQ start looking a bit worrysome. I can't blame anyone for calling or folding here but the situation sucks and if both opponents are straightforward here I think folding may be slightly superior.

Hi, intresting spot.

My bet is that you lost the hand.

But, I have seen very similar hands where the cutoff is actually bluffing in that spot. Had the seats been swapped so that the CO's raise came in second, then I'd be a little suspicious. He could easily make you fold the best hand there, then get called by the original bettor whom he beats. Not like it happens every day, but it is possible.
