Serious advice its:

Yeah, obviously pre is gigantic leak, but even ignoring it, what hands you are hoping are going to pay off after turn was checked thru? Only hands that check turn and have enough to pay off against your range (which has tonns of obvious straights in it) are beating you or it's a weak As turned into bluff.

I expect my hand to look fishy and to get called off with single pairs.

Why is it such a big leak though? I'm calling $2/$9.50. I need 21% equity. I actually have about 22% equity vs two players.

And I'm only expecting flushes or bluffs to raise me on the river. All aces should bluff catch, all two pairs and sets are too weak, and there shouldn't be any 2s that would have called unless we're speaking specifically of 22.

This logic would hold if you were all in preflop. In reality, 43o is going to under-realize its equity unless you're playing vs whales.

Consider raising flop and bet smaller on the river if you're gonna bet.

Can you recommend any sources on learning more about over/under-realization?

Fold pre. /thread

That's a really stupid assumption here, sorry. What is fishy when you bet into the board that smashed your range where EVERYTHING got there except 87. It's looks fishy as in "fishy" - strongly suspicious as value bet because there are no bluffs left.

You were answered this and really dude, if that's how you build your big blind defence (based on raw equity), you should move down and seriously study.

What kind of bluffs can you even think off for CO in this spot? He has all kinds of flushes here except maybe 98s-79s given the action, he has all suited combos of 67s, he has all A2s.

fold pre, u need more equity for a call like this from bb

Just think of it like this. You call, flop comes KQ3. UTG c-bets, you fold. Potentially the best hand. You just can't continue on any board unless you flop two pair+. Your equity is denied since you only saw 3 cards, and even then you can fold the best hand to a c-bet.

65s would probably be the bottom of my calling range here. 54s is close, would probably call

I'll just add to Mino's post by saying that the folding the best hand thing is especially true in 3-way pots. Just to reinforce, raw equity is not how to think about big blind defense or poker in general for every decision.

Yeah, especially 3-way you're way less likely to get to SD. UTG will c-bet a lot still, and if he misses the c-bet cold-caller is going to stab at the pot a lot with hands like two overs/backdoors, or bet for value with his made hands. Your range for completing the BB will be pretty weak overall, and you're OOP so both players will be betting into you pretty liberally

What are the worst hands still worth calling for BB defense? What % of hands should I be calling to small bets like this?

fold pre
fold flop or raise
smaller OTR(25%-33%) or check

people have given you advice. it's your decision to extrapolate on it or not. there's an overwhelming amount of nlhe preflop advice online through many avenues (even the microstakes forum on 2p2!). seek it out if you want to learn and get better. nobody in the ss forum is going to spoon feed this advice.

You never know unless you ask...And frankly, if people ask for advice in threads (2+2 or other), I do my best to give the best most extensive advice I can. You're free and clear to speak for yourself, but it's a bit presumptuous to assume that because you don't want to elaborate, that nobody else does. Not to mention, the best way to learn something is to teach it to somebody else...So there's one more reason I like doing it, it helps my game improve to be able to explain things to others.

seems okish if both guys are terrible. But better to dont go that wide
