First of all sorry for the format, the poker site doesnt have real hand historys

UTG (144bb)
UTG+1 (69bb)
Hero (120bb) AKQT
SB (92bb)
BB (9bb)

UTG raise 3bb, UTG+1 fold, Hero call 3bb, SB fold, BB raise 9bb all in, UTG call 6bb, Hero raise 39bb, UTG call 30bb

Flop (pot 87bb) 967
UTG check, Hero check

Turn (pot 87bb) 7
UTG check, Hero check

River (87bb) 9
UTG check, Hero bets 81bb all in, UTG

Okay a rather tight reg opens utg, i call (maybe a 3bet is better here but when he 4bets we puke). The shortstack in the bb shoves his 9bb and now utg just calls 6bb more and it's our action.
I decide to isolate the shortstack, also there is a decent amount of dead money, if utg calls we might dominate him, he usually should have AA or AKK and we are in position.
He calls and we see a rather bad flop, after 15-20sec of thinking i check behind with a little less than potsize left.
Turn pairs the board, i think now it would maybe be a better moment to shove, than it would have been on the flop but i check behind.

The river double pairs the board, he checks to me again. We have a pretty big sidepot and i dont think he has trips or better here, maaaybe sometimes a 9 with a high rundown but i think he would bet the river with trips 9.
You like the river to pull the trigger, at least bluffing for the big side pot of 60bb? In retroperspective maybe the turn would have been a better spot to shove.

There are few, if any, value hands in your range that act this way

We are not pushing any equity vs UTG when shortie often dominates us and blocks our outs. I 3B UTG pre and as played call.

uh, if we change any of our cards to a 9 and keep the others the same then this is exactly how we would play the hand.

What do you mean as played call?

I mean as it played out, just call 3b.
