UTG is a reg.
Do you defend pre? I think suited to the ace and I close the action 4-way it's good defend. Also there's some conectivity with the cards.
Flop is obviously pretty nutty but I wouldn't wanna get it in of course. Donking here and getting raised wouldn't feel too good. So my plan was to c/c flop unless there's like a bet and 2 calls.
On the turn I'm not sure if donking makes any sense. 4-way it's not too unlikely that someone has KQ here and the question is whether A2 or AT will b/c the turn. So I think c/c turn is fine line!?
The river is interesting. I think UTG never has JT, JJ or TT. I block AA too. That's why I kind of decided to turn my hand into a bluff here. I don't think I wanna c/c river but I have great full house blockers. Question is whether he can fold a hand like KQ and if my line makes sense.
Reviewing the hand I think a bet closer to $30 might be better. But maybe the size is actually ok already. Would love to hear how you guys would have played this hand.

Pre is reasonable imo though I would not be too happy. On river I would check and potentially x-r versus bet. Hand feels bit too strong to donk bluff as we basically try to get exactly KQ to fold. So seems bit questionable with reasonable showdown value.

Depends on river size if I tried to raise. Like if villain bet big he would rep full house but then hand would become nice bluff catcher. If he bets on small side it would look like straight more. Though if good player value bets river with straight he might balance small sizing with full houses as well. So there is a chance I would get bit spewy on river with my check line very often :)
