Hi everyone I need help on this hand please!

I do not know if I should have called Villain's shove on the turn.

Pre-flop: Hero has K J

UTG raises 0.06€, Hero call, fold, Villain (SB) raise 0.26€, fold, UTG call, Hero call

Here I call the first raise, no point in 3-betting, then I call again because it is already a big pot and with the flush draw I can sometimes crush other hands.

Flop: (0.8€ in the pot) 5 10 A

Villain (SB) bets 0.53€, UTG call, Hero call

At this point, I am pretty confident one of them hit the ace with the pre-flop raises but since I hit a flush draw I decide to call again.

Turn: (2.39€ in the pot) A

Villain (SB) shove (1.18€), UTG fold, Hero call

I know that I lose if I dont get my flush. However, the implied odds tell me that I should call given what is already in the pot.

River: 9

Villain had A Q and wins the pot

Was my call on the turn wrong? Anything I should have done / not done?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fold to the squeeze.

You're overestimating how often this hand will beat both players and get paid off, and it's a significant leak to put so much money in the pot pre-flop when you're just hoping to make a flush/straight. "Sometimes" isn't enough.

FWIW, I 3-bet/fold KJs in COvUTG and hardly flat anything in that spot. You're gonna get over-called or squeezed pretty often, and neither of these things are good for you with middling hands like this.

I think call pre its fine cause u have to put in 10bb to win 40bb and you have position on both players.
OTF u should shove or fold. You block AK, KK, JJ, so the most probable hands that he can squeez with are AA, AQ, QQ.
Now on the flop if u shove and get called by one of them u put in 87bb to get 180bb so this 48%.
Against AA,QQ,AQ you have 40% equity. With some fold equity you can be profitable...depend on the villain.
Calling flop means you put more then 1/3 from 100bb stack (assuming you all have 100bb stack) in the middle so maybe its not such a good ideea.
And by the way...OTT i dont think u have implied odds cause he is allin.
