BTN: t170
SB: t2560
Hero (BB): t1475
UTG: t2015
UTG+1: t1535
UTG+2: t1415
MP1: t1755
MP2: t1590
MP3: t1105

Pre Flop: (t75) Hero is BB with 8

4 folds, MP2 calls t50, 3 folds, SB raises to t100, Hero calls t50, MP2 calls t50

Flop: (t300) J

(3 players)
SB bets t50, Hero raises to t200, MP2 calls t200, SB calls t150

Turn: (t900) 8

(3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t350, MP2 calls t350, SB calls t350

River: (t1950) Q

(3 players)
SB bets t100, Hero calls t100?

SB was pretty bad so far, no real reads on MP

My turn bet was meant to be a blocking sort of bet, and I would've shoved any non-heart non-scare card. River scared me...sort of?

I can't raise this river right?

I would bet more on the flop (350-375) to protect my hand vs two villains

Turn sucks, so check behind.. River, just call; you're not getting called by a worse hand with this board

I like raising more on the flop 300 or so. Go after that blocking min bet and make opponents pay to play. We are giving the other players a chance to chase at their draws. The river is tricky. The only problem with calling is that MP2 is setup to shove behind us at this point. I call here albeit I'm not a fan of it.

Check turn. Your hand just lost tons of value on that textured board in a 3way pot. No1 is folding flush draw/1pair OESD to the A. River isn't so great either but just call. No value in raising the river you not going to get called by anything worse.

raise that flop huge! You have the absolute nuts and two people in it with you. I wouldn't even be opposed to shoving the flop and taking it now, or make them pay dearly to draw out on you. In a cash game it might be different but..

I think you played it very similar to how I would have played it
