Against unknown, fold river. BB call your isoraise with a UTG fish, so I see his range some like this: QQ-22,A2s+,KQs,AQo+,KQo.
His range after raise flop: QQ,99,77,AQs,KQs,AhKh,AhJh,AhTh,Ah9h,Ah8h,Ah7h,Ah6h,Ah5h,Ah4h,Ah3h,Ah2h,AQo,KQo.
I don't see 3 barreling with AhXh, so OTR you win just against KQ, and split with AQ.

I would have folded on the turn because villain's actions were screaming strength. There were so many combinations that had hero beat and very few that he could have beaten. Do you remember whether villain was a calling station?

I have to agree w/ waterdragon. Villain is saying pretty loud he is strong AF.

The question is what LeMahdi could do to not lost of his stack anymore with TPTK?
I do not know the answer but what I practice is to flat avarage strong hole cards preflop and to flat avarage strong cards postflop. TPTK is strong as long as the pot is small. TPTK is a pure air since pot explode.
However we need to deal sometimes with players who constantly overbet postflop and steal too many pots with weak hands and this is the spot when we can call all of their three barrells.

He should respect raises and get out of pots that get out of hand with just TPTK.

I would fold OTT.
His raise OTF might be a flushdraw so you have to call once, but his bet OTT deffo is not. he has two pair or better.

How high is probability that random NL2 player has well balanced check/raise multiway? :-D

In theory you should call down all the way because most draws missed.
In reality, it’s NL2, your opponents don’t have enough bluffs in their ranges, so fold flop, especially vs regs.
Now, there’s many agro fishes on NL2 that are involved in too many pots, allways betting and raising. If he is one of them, then again, call him down. They are on the other side of spectrum and have too many bluffs in their range, so yes, sometimes you will lose your stack to them, but many more times they will donate their stacks to you. Basicly, you have to pay attention to know who you play against to play this hand correctly. Against unknown NL2 player that raises I think it’s safe to say that you need at least top 2 pair to continue, or some kind of draw that can beat a set.
