9max, 1/3
Eff stack 800
3 limps, hero in lp isoraise 24 w/ KdKx, 3 calls, one of them is main villain who limped.
Main villain is a fishy lag (probably around 50% vpip, very unpredictable, able to pull huge 0% equity bluffs when he smells weakness)
Pot ~100
Flop (4way) J42 two d
Villain donk 30, someone (unknown) calls, hero overcalls (and should've raised for value? I was unsure how to react to a donk/3bet line from villain, definitely dont want to play for stacks in this spot)
Pot 190
Turn (3way) Td
Villain bet 40, fold, hero calls
Pot 270
River (HU) 8r
Villain bet 70, hero calls

I think it's fine. We will have flushes, JJ, TT, and JT here on the same line that we can raise river. AA, KK, QQ, AJ, KJ that we can just call with.

Line is fine. Kind of tied down because of the diamonds. Probably not a flush but he could be betting something like 2 pair for value with this size. Our hand is too good to turn into a bluff, too good to fold for this size.
Flop is fine given how multiway it is.

I'm fine with preflop if we're in LP (Button, CO) but otherwise I would attempt an overlimp to try to reraise. Not a great preflop result being this multiway in a bloated pot, although we are in position and do have a workable SPR of 8.
I'm fine with our play to the river. We don't want to be putting stacks in play with a raise at this SPR, so let's just call down in position and see what happens. Also can't fold the turn to this sizing with the flush draw. River is a tough spot because we're getting terrific odds... but are they terrific enough? The flush got there. Two pears everywhere. Even a weirdo straight. Is this really how Jx plays it? Is there enough busted 53 OESD that would bluff for this price? For the price I can understand a call, but I just think we're being owned here 90%+ of the time.

yes, this is not the braindead kind of maniac, he knows stuff. he is probably never betting Jx here, but wants to make it look like. Anyway, hard to fold for this price.
