SB posts SB 0.2 BB, BB posts BB 0.5 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 0.7 BB) Hero has 9♥ A♠

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 1 BB, SB calls 0.8 BB, BB calls 0.5 BB

Flop: (3 BB, 3 players) 7♥ T♦ J♥
SB bets 0.5 BB, BB calls 0.5 BB, Hero calls 0.5 BB

Turn: (4.5 BB, 3 players) 5♥
SB bets 1 BB, fold, Hero calls 1 BB

River: (6.5 BB, 2 players) A♦
SB bets 1 BB, Hero calls 1 BB

I think I misplayed this hand - I meant to fold on the turn but clicked call by mistake :rolleyes:

Looking at it later in equilab I had roughly 26% equity on the flop (based on 50% call from SB and ~70% from BB - not much data on either though as you can see).

So,

1. I know HU on flop you need roughly 37% equity to call - what about vs 2 ? As I'm closing the action does that mitigate somewhat ? SB seems to donk with top pair or better. Overcard plus backdoor flush & gutshot gives me roughly 6 outs I reckon (4 for gutshot, 1 for backdraw flush and 1.5 for Ace, as Ah is bad news, and my kicker is not the best)

2. Like I say, I meant to fold turn - clicked call by mistake. I now have a 1 card flush draw, but it’s only the 9. If it were the Qh or higher I may have called.

I lucked out on river and one of the two clean Aces fell. However, my kicker is still just a 9, and concerned SB could have AJ or completed flush, so just called.

So should have I folded on flop or turn ? In retrospect I think folding flop in face of donk bet from SB was correct, but maybe marginal. I think folding turn would have been correct.

On the flop it is easy call for me getting 1:8 with the gutshot + Ace. On the turn it is easy call again with gutshot + flushdraw + Ace. On the river I would either call or raise according to my instincts. I think his bet kinda polarizes his range so the call should be fine. Do you think he would bet a single pair into you on the Ace river?
