    Default 50NL lost in 3way pot..

    SB is super spewy, running 93/20 with 23% 3bet, and lots of questionable calls post flop. UTG is pretty standard 24/17 player, only opens UTG 10% over ~1k hands. I figure most of his range is big facecards because his big pairs should 4bet.

    I think I played it really bad, not really sure how to improve. For sure I have value vs both ranges on flop. I think UTG might flat my raise with overs given pot odds, and SB is still holding almost any two, so I bet for value again. I couldn't put UTG on a hand given his river play, but I also couldn't see him bluffing like that.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG ($125.50)

    Hero (CO) ($125)
    Button ($133.40)
    SB ($155.70)
    BB ($145.75)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 10, 10
    UTG bets $2, 1 fold, Hero calls $2, 1 fold, SB raises to $5, 1 fold, UTG calls $3, Hero calls $3

    Flop: ($16.10) 3, 4, 8 (3 players)
    SB bets $2, UTG calls $2, Hero raises to $12, SB calls $10, UTG calls $10

    Turn: ($52.10) 3 (3 players)
    SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $22, 1 fold, UTG calls $22

    River: ($96.10) J (2 players)
    UTG bets $86.40 (All-In), Hero folds

    Total pot: $96.10 | Rake: $3

    I think ur flop raise should be much bigger if u are gonna raise in the first place. UTG's range should be quite strong and he might be thinking about getting more value from the SB behind him. After UTG calls the flop raise i would be pretty worried coz the only hand he could have that u beat is 99. The turn bet is super weak and given that u are playing 250BB deep it makes ur hand look even weaker and allows him to keep his range balanced and wide.

    As played i probably fold river coz he could have slowplayed a lot of stuff here and it looks really bluffy at the same time.

    I guess I like my decision to raise flop, and maybe sizing could be a bit bigger. Looks like my turn bet was very bad. I should either bet bigger or check behind. Probably check behind is better? Are you sure UTG can't have like AJ+ type hands on the flop? He's facing 10 into 30 some..

    I doubt he would pair hunt in a 3way pot. I mean if hes really terrible maybe, but a standard reg would probably fold A high here. And u have raised in a 3bet pot on the flop so its not likely that u are bluffing either so theres no reason for him to peel lightly here imo.

    once ur flop raise is called im not feeling to happy about life and am probably checking behind trying to get to SD as cheap as possible, folding on a lot of rivers.

    As played the river is a snap fold, hes never doing this with worse
