Final Board: 8 6 K 9 T
Hero showed 8 7 and won $29.08 ($14.03 net)
CO mucked J J and lost (-$15.05 net)

I know calling 3b OOP is not profitable but I can't fold to min3b like this and also our hand can hit sth.

F is quite a miss and we have 6 outs. Easy fold right? Can we c/c and c/f blank T? Or is it easier to just c/f F?

T I was thinking of donking myself but he might r with some AK but definitely call with any Kx. So on the R I would have tough decision if we miss. He gives us nice implied.

R af is quite low and he might have some QQ some JJ which he would like to cb. I'm donking with intention of going broke.

Is this kind the line I took in this hand super losing?

Hi yaxkukmian

Preflop: I think the 3-bet call is marginal at best (especially since we are OOP and have a pretty weak/speculative hand). And this was not a min 3-bet. A min 3-bet would be 1.25 so that's almost 2 BB more.

Postflop: The river line (betting) is fine but bet size is not. There's not much that raises you there and everything, including sets, Kx, Aa just call so you lose value.

The rest, flop/turn is just spew. Calling second pair on that flop without info and OOP will lose you a lot. How many turns/rivers can you really continue on?
