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)
