Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 100 BB (VPIP: 31.03, PFR: 24.14, 3Bet Preflop: 7.69, Hands: 30)
SB: 49 BB
BB: 135.8 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 2)
UTG: 441.6 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 10.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 20)
Hero (MP): 104.6 BB
CO: 91.4 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 100.00, 3Bet Preflop: 100.00, Hands: 2)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 9♥ 8♥

UTG raises to 3 BB, Hero calls 3 BB, fold, fold, SB calls 2.6 BB, fold

Flop: (10 BB, 3 players) 6♥ 7♠ K♠
SB bets 1 BB, UTG raises to 7 BB, Hero calls 7 BB, SB calls 6 BB

Turn: (31 BB, 3 players) 5♣
SB bets 3 BB, UTG raises to 22 BB, Hero calls 22 BB, SB calls 19 BB

River: (97 BB, 3 players) 2♣
SB bets 17 BB and is all-in, fold, Hero calls 17 BB

Do you think calling this hand pre-flop is too lose? I usually don't, but I saw w34z3l's cold calling ranges and it is there, so I decided to call.

Flop c-bet is a call, would anybody fold here?

On the turn, when I turn nut, I decided to just call UTG's c-bet, I was afraid that if I raised both SB and UTG would fold. By calling, it's more likely that SB will call and that I can get more money on the river, but I risk somebody completing a flush. What do you think of my play here?

On the river there's nothing else to think about.

Thanks in advance.

On turn you miss a ton when you do not raise. You give them cheap chance to hit a flush/fh and outdraw you.
Make a solid raise and make them pay to see a card.

Preflop call is totally fine. We should probably raise the turn because SB will call for sure and the UTG looks like he likes his hand, so I expect him to call, too. There is also a flushdraw on board so we have to protect our equity.

I'd also raise turn here. We cannot give villain here a relatively cheap card concerning their current equity against your range.

Don't use anyone else's ranges, even if they are coaches. You need to know why (and how) you play any range before you can profitably play it. The HJ after UTG open is the worst spot postflop if you get more callers. [I'd play 98s, but stay away from easily dominated hands.]

Then for turn: Have a look at the stack of UTG. It is not worth sucking the small stack in. You could perhaps have doubled up raising vs UTG.
