$53.50 pot ($2.41 rake)
Final Board: 9 4 3 A 5
Hero mucked K A and lost (-$26 net)
UTG mucked and won $51.09 ($25.09 net)

Villain is 20/15 with a 50% fold to 3bet over 61 hands

Did not want to play the hand 3 way so decided to squeeze pre hoping for a fold and scoop the pot or that UTG would fold and SB would call since I was pretty much ahead of his range.

After he called preflop, I figured that his range had a lot of pairs and that I was at best against AK and hence pretty much had 0% equity. So decided to check fold.

On the turn I felt like I had the best hand and decided to bet to make maybe a hand like KK or QQ call.

On the river I felt the only way I'd get a call from those hands again was to bet big and make it look like a desperate attempt to make it look like I have a straight and so I bet a little above half pot. When he shoved I figured he probably has 99 and shoved putting me on the exact hand that I held.

Looking back at the hand, I think on the turn I should've figured that I'd get just 1 street of value from lower pocket pairs and check turn and bet river (or c/c turn and river)

Hey Clawindsouza,

Preflop squeeze is fine here.

X/f is fine here.

Turn bet for value is fine. It's also ok to check twice here and let villain take a stab or value-own himself.

River value bet is fine. He can still call with worse Ax enough of the time, although the 4-to-straight on board does make it thin. Vs river raise should be a pretty straightforward fold.
