I don't have enough hands on the villains to show stats.

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: $2.78
BTN: $0.69
SB: $2.00
BB: $2.77
Hero (UTG): $2.52
MP: $2.07

SB posts SB $0.01, BB posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has T♥ A♣

Hero raises to $0.06, fold, CO calls $0.06, fold, SB calls $0.05, fold

Flop: ($0.20, 3 players) 6♦ A♠ 9♥
SB checks, Hero bets $0.10, CO raises to $0.30, SB calls $0.30, fold I folded here, because i think both villains have 66 / 99 many times here. Not AA, because 1. I block the A with mine and 2 AA would have 3 bet preflop.

Does anyone sees a call on the flop?

Turn: ($0.90, 2 players) 8♠
SB checks, CO bets $0.44, SB raises to $1.64 and is all-in, CO calls $1.20

River: ($4.18, 2 players) 3♥

CO cashed out $3.89 for a fee of $0.04

Spoiler

SB shows 6♣ 6♠ (Three of a Kind, Sixes)
(Pre 19%, Flop 5%, Turn 2%)
CO shows 9♠ 9♣ (Three of a Kind, Nines)
(Pre 81%, Flop 95%, Turn 98%)

There are few draws on the flop and it is multiway, so a raise is pretty strong. Top pair weak kicker seems like a good fold.

Good fold, rainbow board and as dodo said” weak kicker”. Multi -way pots you need to play more cautiously..

I have lost many hands with even TPTK in multi -way - just be cautious and good fold

ATo is a fold for me UTG for the very reason you see here -- it is too often dominated.
I'm guessing opponent has so much AJ+ in his range that you really don't like the A on the flop.

When you are much deeper (200+ BB deep) you can open up and play more speculative hands.
