It took him all the time in the earth to call on the turn so I think I have folding equity. I bet, he tanks and in the end calls. Is the size good? Maybe I should overbet?

well except AK you dont represent much value hand on T/R, i think its best to give up (and its multiway :( )

Any reads on UT+1? How much does he cold call there preflop? Because the decision whether you cbet flop or not depends on that. If he calls wide preflop, like KQs ATs, medium pocket pairs, you have an easy cbet 3way. If he calls tight preflop, which seems more likely, I think you are looking at TT+/AK and should give up flop like you did.

Now that UT+1 checked flop back, he probably has 99-TT, AQs/AK, so bluffing turn against him should work. SB might go for a turn check raise, but his range is wide given preflop stats. So I think turn bluff is alright.

When SB calls turn he is going to have a pair, of course. Don't think he would check call a set to check raise river. You rep Kx / air on the river, and he has a bluffcatcher most of the time. So it's a typical spot where you can do one of two things.

1) You make a read. If you think he folds his bluffcatchers (often enough), as is Jx, weak Kx, you go ahead and bluff. If you think he doesn't fold his bluffcatchers, you check it back.

2) You aren't confident in making a read. You resort to playing in a way that can't be exploited. You have to figure out how wide your value range is and what bluff hands you are using to balance those. I think you value KQs,AK and some random JJ/KJs/KK/AA, which is about 18 combos. So you can bluff about 8 combos. I think you have some QTs ATs hands to bluff with, and AQ has a tiny amount of showdown value (he might have AThh or so), so I think AQ is a check back.

Thanks for the feedback guys .

UTG+1 is a nitty player, I think I'm making him fold 100% when I bet the turn i this spot.

SB is a big fish, don't let the stats fool you, sorry for not mentioning it. He is not a LAG. I think on the turn he could be calling any pair, 2x, any 4x (which improved unfortunately but since he checked he might not have it), Jx, 77, 33. I doubt he is calling Kx or flushdraws rather than donk them. I went for the bluff because he had a very hard decision calling the turn (of course he was playing one single table) and because fish always put you on AK and I cand credibily represent it :). I doubt I'm making him fold Jx but I think Jx would be a snap call instead of a hard call.
