(1/2 Live straddled pot to $5)

(SB) Villain I $520: Fit-or-fold preflop from EP
(UTG +1) Villain II $500: Wide cbetting range, will x-raise all his strong hands for value and rarely as bluffs
(MP) Hero $770: J

(Button) Villain III $320:

Preflop: V1 raises to 20, V2 calls, Hero calls, V3 calls (4-way to the flop, Pot = 80)

Flop, Pot = 80
9

V1 x, V2 bets 40, Hero calls 40, V3 calls 40, V1 folds (3-way to the turn)

Turn, Pot = 200
2

V2 x, Hero bets 85, V3 calls 85, V2 calls 85

River, Pot = 455
K

V2 x, Hero x, V3 bets 100, V2 tank calls 100, Hero-folds

I'd check the turn. The deuce won't cause V2 or V3 to fold. A bet builds a bigger pot where you want to get to a showdown as quickly as possible. I get that nearly every river card hurts JJ, but you should prioritize pot control, imo.

Other than that, line looks good. I'm sure an argument can be made for calling 6.5-1 odds on the river. I'm not sure second pair holds up against two opponents enough to justify calling.

Pre is fine.

Raise/fold flop, we can get action from pair + straight draws.

Turn is fine as well except the sizing is small. I make it $120.

Realistically the hands we lose to are A9ss, T9ss, 98ss, 97ss 87ss, 76ss. Also there are 6 K9 combos we lose to. I think we see more action with sets and QQ+ will 3-bet a decent part of the time.

Getting 6.5-1 I call because of the added spazz factor $1/2 games have. I'm really not expecting to be good though. The river king is a blank unless somehow K9 out ran us.

I like everything except for the turn sizing and the fold OTR. I think you need to make it like 150$. And I think you're ahead of so much of their range that went c/c/c/b and c/b/xc/xc.

Is $100 a big bet in this game? I understand relative to the pot its pretty silly, but if this was a rec player I'd be much more concerned. I could totally see hands like K7 getting to the river here. K9 is obviously a possibility. It seems like V2 has a nine and he can't seem to let it go. So it boils down to whether or not V3 is capable of betting a hand here that you can beat. I'm not too sure there are any. Pot odds are pretty irresistible, but I don't think folding is bad against certain players.
