Which one of those players calls him with A high? He needs to get calls from a 3 or a pocket pair.

BB has no pair for sure and SB could have almost anything after the turn checks through and is just taking a shot. I like the raise very much and would expect to chop in the worst case.

Justin, really? 6 almost certainly clean outs and two bad opponents who will pay us off every time if we hit a pair.

I don't like that value raise. Had the bb folded the river, I would have considered it though.
When you get called you lose a lot of the time. I think the river is time for a power call.

6 outs is the absolute best we can hope for. JT is dominated by so many hands that our opponents can have. I think 4 outs is even an optimistic estimate, and we're only getting 10:1 not closing the action. Pretty easy fold imo.

I like this analysis although a lot would depend on what the BB considered resonable to three bet against you and the SBs track record of aggression. I wouldn't go so far as to call it an "easy" fold but there a plenty of scenarios in which folding is reasonable. (In rereading this, noticed that: Mike I will call/fold/raise).

As you played it, I wouldn't raise the river and agree with CDC's comments. If you think you have that much of an edge over the other two, I'd stay away from the more debateable plays.

I fold the flop/huh?/I hate it/not me all pretty effectively capture my feelings here. I think that the flop call is somewhat close, I hate the river raise, how can someone possibly bet/call after this action with something worse than a J?

I see a ton of weird [censored] every time I play limit holdem online, so while it wouldn't amaze me if you won this pot (or even wound up with 2 overcalls and won) I really do not like this play. The entire way this hand has played out looks to me like he was either going for a turn c/r or he got there on the river, and if he got there on the river he got there harder than you did.

Even a very wide range from the BB has JT in trouble on this flop. You're against two opponents, you have a [censored] hand with very little chance of improving, and even if you do improve there's still three overcards to your pair.
