BTN: 25.7 BB (VPIP: 25.90, PFR: 14.30, 3Bet Preflop: 5.38, Hands: 3,105)
SB: 121.2 BB (VPIP: 25.88, PFR: 16.02, 3Bet Preflop: 5.32, Hands: 3,062)
BB: 60 BB (VPIP: 22.15, PFR: 14.75, 3Bet Preflop: 6.51, Hands: 3,353)
Hero (UTG): 172.2 BB
CO: 102.5 BB (VPIP: 27.04, PFR: 15.86, 3Bet Preflop: 5.98, Hands: 2,989)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has T♣ Q♥

Hero raises to 3 BB, CO calls 3 BB, fold, SB calls 2.5 BB, fold

Flop: (10 BB, 3 players) K♣ J♥ J♦
SB checks, Hero checks, CO checks

Turn: (10 BB, 3 players) 9♦
SB bets 5 BB, Hero calls 5 BB, CO calls 5 BB

River: (25 BB, 3 players) 5♠
SB bets 14 BB, Hero ??

We lose to KJ obviously, but is there any value in raising the river or is it too spewy? Tricky situation since there's one player left to act after hero... Should have cbet the flop imo.

Villain is repping KJ, JJ, AJ, 99 on the turn.

Btw usually I don't open this UTG, not sure why I did now.

Your open is a bit wide with this hand. You can open QTs from this position.
On flop you should not bet vs 2.
If you feel like it, you can make a small raise on river.

Yeah I know it's a bit too loose probably. Well had I cbet the flop and got callers I would have given up on the turn if they didn't fold and I didn't improve. Board like that generates quite a bit of folds usually.

Not always, as it connects with their ranges too.

Maybe he is repping AJ. If he has any of the other hands and he bets half pot on turn+ river then i am a mermaid.

I would start with half pot on the flop, expecting to get them folding PP and air. As played I would call the river bet hoping CO to also call with weaker hand.

I would call as well. Villain is representing quite some strong hands and I think it is about 50/50 the hands that would win of your hands. Even if you beat more hands, then still you don't get that much value. So calling on both, turn and river is I think a good line.

Will you fold vs a raise on flop?

Depends on my image actually. If I have a loose image on the table not. They might think that, for example, AJ, JQ is enough to bluff catch me whilst having a tight image, I might fold since they know and try to induce bluffs or give me really expensive prices to call a turn/river.

On the range you've given villain he has 10 better combos and 8 worse combos, so you're a slight underdog. You have sufficient equity to call, but raising is a loss (it's not like he can fold a better hand). I wouldn't be too worried about CO: 5♠ is unlikely to cause him to leap into action and as Vaskata says, he can call with a worse hand here.

I think if you bet the flop you have to fold to a raise unless it's very small, because if you put villain on {AJ, KJ, QJ} and an A comes on the turn you're in difficulties, so you really only have 4 outs. As we're three-way, check might be better.

If we bet the flop I don't see hand villain would raise so not worrying too much. If villain raises the bet I would fold.

I also don't agree with opening this hand preflop. As played, I would just call the river. If we decided to raise, we will be in a very tough position if he decided to 3bet. We win vs Jx, but he could have KJ and 99.

No tough spots, we just will fold vs a re-raise.

Fold pre, if blinds were fishes you could open.

Flop: I would cb 5-6bb

As played, I would defintely raise turn vs 1/2 bet, SB will call your raise with JTs/QJs/AJs/AdQd/AdTd/KdQd/8d7d/T8s and it will be easier for you to play OTR. Why you didn't raise turn?

OTR I would just call, given that CO is still in the pot and he can have some slowplayed FH's.
