KQs in trouble at river

Nice fold.

You are putting yourself into a very tough spot by raising esp vs 2 fish, who might overestimate their TP and jam or jam w a draw.

Leading F would be the easiest play imo

check call the flop, you are overplaying your hand really - The UTG's PFR is fairly tight so he will not have enough QT and worse to justify this
lead is a decent option with their gaps in VPIP

Good point. Big donk bet would perhaps been better option.

UTG is only 66BB deep and he was not positionally aware at all, so his range was about the same 15%, no matter what position. Should have mentioned it. I think he isn't folding AJ, KJ, KTs, JTs, T9s (31 combinations) on the flop, he might even call some percentage with AK or AT so his flop calling range isn't overly tight, if my estimation is reasonable at all.

I wasn't raising flop just for value, I thought they have a lot of outs for two pairs, Ax etc and there's a decent change that I'm ahead now but my hand is very vulnerable against two players combined. I was hoping to get hand HU or even win it right there, didn't worked this time

Granted UTG can have AA, KK, QQ, JJ, 66, AQ, QJ (30 combinations) but he also have worse hands he could call. And I don't mind opening betting again, if he rereraises I can quite confidently fold.

I think hand was easier for me to play reraised. Perhaps big donk bet would have been better anyway. Thanks for your input

I think leading the flop is better than check/calling, but check/calling is better than check/raising. I belive that TPGK would generally be too weak for value check/raising, especially in a multi-way pot. As played, I think giving up the river is fine.

Our hand is too good to turn it into a bluff postflop, nothing worse will continue and i doubt that better will fold.

on flop, putting a range on equilab gives you 52% vs 2 players

if you are IP its ok to raise flop because you gain initiative and check on later street to not overplay your hand

by raising OP you get into ugly situations (i would check raise OP if i were bluffing or with a set)
