Hi,
I was not entirely sure how to play this hand. So we are dealing with UTG range here and 2 calls, call on BB is good pre for sure (was thinking of 3 bet, but against UTG range not so good probably - not so worried about 2 callers) I think we are dominated quite often. Flop hits us pretty good, but not so good against UTG range and 4-way. I checked and there comes a bet from button, I think call with top pair and flush is ok. But we can be very behind very often. Aj, AQ with j or Q with spades crushes us, JQ of spades is nuts and against better A (AJ,AQ - AK would 3-bet pre I guess) and trips of 99 we are not doing so great , only hand we kind of beat is KQ, KJ with Q, J of spades which have outs to us (but no idea where I am in that hand, what range does they have???). And also he can be there with hands like 87s and so on. But sizing seems small. So I called. Turn is blank and bigger sizing bet comes as well, I guess I should fold here. River blank again and big bet again and I folded. Not sure if I should fold already flop (seems to weak to me but in 4-way it is maybe best option), looking at it back now, I am not sure. Does he have KQ, KJ with Q,J of spades that often, or any other one spade hand which we beat to call that turn? Or should I try to raise somewhere? No idea. Thanks for some advices.
