Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

SB: $3.39 (169.5 bb)
BB: $2.52 (126 bb)
Hero (UTG): $2.63 (131.5 bb)
MP: $3.53 (176.5 bb)
CO: $2.33 (116.5 bb)
BTN: $2 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A♥: J♣:
Hero raises to $0.06, MP calls $0.06, 3 folds, BB calls $0.04
So I raise and get 2 callers.

Flop: ($0.19) T♠: 9♥: Q♥: (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.14, MP calls $0.14, BB folds
FLop gives me an OESD and an overcard , but there are 2 other players and I think this board hits their range quite nicely (suited connectors, broadways, Qx)
Don't think I should be letting it go (or maybe I should), but was cbetting OOP the best idea? Do I want to isolate here with a bet? Should I have tried to see a free card, perhaps check calling if I have the odds?

Turn: ($0.47) A♣: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.36, MP calls $0.36
Turn now gives me top pair and an OESD and I am now heads up - should I continue betting here? Or does this complete too many draws which are in villains range? KJ AQ

River: ($1.19) Q♠: (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $1.15, Hero ?
I don't like this card at all any Qx hands beat me now as well as the other hands that had completed previously - I think I probably should let go here? Check/fold? I am not getting him to fold better hands with a bet and I don't think I am ahead often enough to bet for value.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I would check behind on that flop. It hits both villain's ranges quite nicely. The other problem is that even when we hit our draw, it is not concealed at all and it would be hard to get paid.

On the flop, I would check as well. No need to try to bluff 2 players from the hand. As played I would most likely make a thin value bet on the turn as well, but that depends a lot how passive our villain is.

The river is nasty, but we only beat a bluff and he’s betting almost pot size and I expect we are too often beat to make a call profitable here.

Cheers,

Hmm yea villains might have a piece of this flop but I wouldn't be too worried. This flop hits our range very hard too. We have overpairs, all sets, all possible 2 pair, nut straight... I think betting is fine. Since our range is so strong you can bet smaller. I think half pot would do just fine.

OTT I think you could check call. That ace gives you some showdown value, you still have your OESD, but it might have improved villain or he might already be ahead. Against MP you shouldn't be too afraid of any draws.

River I think you can fold.

Problem is I think we aren’t dealing with players that know anything of ranges and then it’s difficult to represent a big hand.

That might be true and checking is totally fine. And actually if we bet here, a half pot bet might be still slightly too big.

Don't bet on such a wet flop against two players with only sd
