Less hand vs this player but he likes open limps preflop like here. On flop I decide vs this size donkbet call with two overcards and backdoor. On turn I get flush draw so I call too. River is tricky here but when he check here I think that can bluff so I decide bet and get fold from opponent. What You think about this hand?

Hi aleasy77,
I used this tool: https://pokeit.co/convert/ to convert the hand into a more readable format. Members are more likely to review hands that they can read easily.

I think that the hand is well played, since UTG is both a limper and just a wee bit aggro. I wouldn't make a habit of this though. You're dead in the water vs any Ten, and most sets.

I'm leaning towards a fold on the flop, it might seem nitty but I think the flop hits the UTG limping range and we have the SB who can still call or raise now.

with only backdoor outs and 2 over cards the flop call is marginal. Even with the odds you get. Especially multi way the UTG player isn't bluffing I think. The rest seems alright and bluffing on river is always tricky on NL2, but it worked out this time.
