Hero (SB): $6.37 (127.4 bb)
BB: $6.03 (120.6 bb)
UTG: $8.96 (179.2 bb) VPIP: 17 | PFR: 17 | Hands: 36
MP: $4.66 (93.2 bb) VPIP: 72 | PFR: 31 | Hands: 36
CO: $6.38 (127.6 bb)
BTN: $5.57 (111.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T♥ T♣
UTG raises to $0.14, MP calls $0.14, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.12, BB folds

Flop: ($0.47) 3♣ 9♣ 8♦ (3 players)
Hero bets $0.30, UTG raises to $0.82, 2 folds

I bet to get calls from FD and small pairs that otherwise could check. Plus in a 3-way pot I wouldn't want to see a high card on the turn.

I don't think that villain would raise 3-way on a drawy board with anything that we have beat. This looks like a bigger overpair or stronger.

UTG range is not about draws and pocket pairs. Moreover, if your afraid of pocket pairs and draws, and you suspect MP and UTG of having that kinda hands, why didnt you raise preflop, seems like an easy profit. Donk bet doesnt seem so bad after all. Nice fold tho.

I think it's Ok to donk here and not give a free card to 2 players with so vulnerable hand. After UTG raise we have to fold
He should play honest with player behind

I didn't raise because I didn't feel that many weaker hands will call. MP could call though, he's a fish, so squeeze is a decent option too, I think.

Yes you can squeeze but if you do not feel like it it is ok to call.
Donk mw with our hand is a pretty decent option. As mentioned above, utg is honest and showing strength when raising with a player still to act behind. Nice.

we also have some backdoor draws etc even if he calls with an overpair and i think it's the best line with our hand + position to bet for value/protection
