TLDR:
I'm dealt Qd Qs in the button. MP opens 3x to .9. The cut-off folds, I call, the SB also calls.

The flop comes 9s9d6s. Both players check and I bet 1.5 into a pot of 2.8.

Both players call.

The turn is the 3h (9s 9d 6s 3h). Both players check and I bet 3$ into a pot of ~4.5.

Both players call.

The river is the 6d (9s 9d 6s 3h 6d). Both players check and I bet 4.5 into ~13.5.

The SB raises, pushing me all in for another 9.65.

Looking for thoughts on how I played this hand. I think there are a few really interesting spots where I could've done things differently, give your input!

put him on T9s before I looked at the reveal (I know he actually showed up with offsuit). Should have been a 3-bet preflop, he probably isn't calling 2 raises cold with his hand. AP your range looks strong, he probably does not expect you to be bluffing. He polarizes river, but does he flat out of position with a flush draw twice? Or 78? One of your biggest mistakes in this hand was not 3-betting pre-flop. Flop sizing seems fine. Turn sizing seems a bit small, but you obviously want to target the weaker flatting portion of range, as SB is capped, and can have 6x, 77, 88, 55, 44 etc. We also appear to be well ahead of HJ. River, value betting is kind of dubious, and if we do, we might have to be prepared to bet / fold readless. Villain has to turn a weaker pair or a bricked flush / straight draw into a bluff, and I don't know if they want to do that, or how often they have some of those hands considering we bet 3 streets, and ourselves can have 9 / 6x with some (albeit not very high) frequency. Might have leveled yourself into a call with your sizing on river.

Everything amazin said and this. I don't think you're ever good when v shoves that board. Unless you have some specific history with him in spots like this, this should be an easy fold. Also, check back the river, both v's called 2 barrels by you. ONE of them has you beat.
