Suspected villain was trying to run me over, so I took a slightly unusual line. I didn't figure to be ahead on the river, but didn't want to be bluffed full pot either. Was surprised to be called by worse.

Pokerzzz09 is at seat 1 with $14.38.

jimmybass67 is at seat 4 with $10.02.
1Anders1 is at seat 5 with $10.02.

The dealer is seat 3.

jimmybass67 posts a blind of $0.05.

I would fold PF.

I would ckeck/raise flop. You have a great hand great equity and you still have a good amount of turn cards that can worry you (999TTTJJJQQQAAAA). So i would check/raise for value and for protection.

! it's 6 handed, 2 villain raises a lot but if i'm putting villain on a narrow range, why would i raise the flop. They're repping KK, my only equity against that is the flush if KK thinks I've got a strong hand they'll want to get it all in and bye bye flush draw.

KT84 isn't a good starting hand out of position. Folding preflop would definitely be your best option here. Don't be fooled in to thinking because the hand is double suited it becomes playable.

As for the flop, checkraise full pot and bet full pot on the turn also. 2 pair with a flush redraw is the best you could have hoped for.
