A bluff I tried to run on a live MTT. blinds were 1k/2k with a 2k ante posted by the big blind. So, add 2k more in the pot of the hand below.
I think I should had just given up at the flop, I shouldn't have cbet but there was potential with backdoor :diamond: and straights and overcards.
I was representing a queen by the river, also nothing really got there.

UTG: §80,000 (40 bb)
UTG+1 (Hero): §75,000 (38 bb)
MP: §85,000 (43 bb)
MP+1: §55,000 (28 bb)
CO: §60,000 (30 bb)
BU: §65,000 (33 bb)
SB: §90,000 (45 bb)
BB: §100,000 (50 bb)

Pre-Flop: (§3,000) Hero is UTG+1 with K♦ J♦
UTG calls §2,000, Hero raises to §9,000, MP calls §9,000, 5 players fold, UTG calls §7,000

Flop: (§30,000) T♠ 6♥ 4♦ (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets §10,000, MP calls §10,000, UTG calls §10,000

Turn: (§60,000) 7♣ (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks, MP checks

River: (§60,000) Q♦ (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets §56,000 (all-in), MP folds, UTG calls §56,000

Total pot: §172,000 (Rake: §0)

Showdown:
UTG+1 (Hero) shows K♦ J♦ (high card, King)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 44%, Flop: 29%, Turn: 14%, River: 0%)

UTG shows A♣ T♥ (a pair of Tens)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 56%, Flop: 71%, Turn: 86%, River: 100%)

UTG wins §172,000

I would raise 3x in position with 1 limper or you deal with passive players. As played I would check it down with King high in a multi way pot. It's always tough to bluff against multiple villians.

River could be a scare card for both villains, but against 2 unknowns I would most likely give up.
