So i played this hand at a pretty aggressive 8/16 game with about 4 huge fish.

the hand is opened by a 20/40 reg tag. When he has a big hand hes usually betting but pretty turns into a really really passive player when there is any heat and he does not hold the stones. The other main villain of the hand is a pretty good tag. Haven't played alot with him but some hasn't really gotten out of line. Nothing really note worthy other than he will bet a floped top pair on a flop all three streets regardless of cards that come on turn and river.

Anyways our first tag opens this hand up utg get three cold calls utg 2 mp 1 mp 2 mp 3 hj 3! i call 3 cold otb with :6Spade6Diamond .. Im not sure if this is right or not???

my thinking here is that this pot is going to go 5 handed possibly 6 (bb like to gambol) most of the time and I have position. Im aware i'm not getting the proper odds here but aren't the implied odds enough here?

anyways. 6 to the flop

18sb

flop is jHeart6Heart2Club

bb checks, utg fires, mp 1 calls mp 2 folds, mp 3 folds, hj raises, I 3! bb folds utg 4!, mp1 folds, hj calls, I call

Turn: 9Heart utg checks, hj bets, I raise, utg calls, hj calls,

My thinking here as that I'm still getting value from a ton of hands he could have here(aa,kk,qq,1010,aj and any 1 heart hands they could still hold at this point ak aq) and I'm also not going to get raised by anything other than a hand better than mine so i can pretty easily fold at that point?

River k Spade

checks to me, i bet, everyone calls

I'm not sure any longer if i was actually bluffing or what? now that i think about it it seems like a check to me as the only hands i'm getting value from are aa and qq. ak or kj does not seem that likely at this point. Unless he has exactly AHeartk. I feel the only worse value hand that is calling river as aa, ak aj kj and i'm now losing to kk jj 99 q10 and all flushes.

This hand history is a mess, so its really tough to comment on.

Did utg cap preflop? If he didn't, I'm guessing we can remove JJ+ from his range. So his range on the flop is like maybe AJ, maybe... JJ or 2 big hearts. I think we can remove a flush when he checks the turn. I would guess HJ's range on the turn for betting is JJ+ and AK/AQhh, so I think I like your raise on the turn.

River is close, neither player should have a flush, but there are 12 combos of AA/QQ vs 6 combos of KK/JJ, although 2 opponents. I think value betting the river is a good thin value bet.

i'm not exactly sure what happened preflop but it seems fine. isn't there a 5 bet cap there? do that on the flop. in general it seems like you jammed postflop which is correct obv, and good riv vb.

this hand is played poorly preflop and on the flop. First thing I would fold pre, your not getting enough pre to flop a set and its highly likely that it will be 5 small bets back to you on the button. On the flop i have no idea why your not putting in the 5th bet either. Your hand is a monster now that you have hit it and your shorting yourself 2 small bets. turn and river a fine as played.

When a nit is raising utg are there not a ton of implied odds pf here? I Also i was quite confident that everyone in this pot is calling here. In the perfect situation that would make it a 21sb pot. Worst case its a 30sb pot. So that would make the odds i'm getting here on my money 7;1 or 6;1 correct? AND I have a shitton of implied odds here. If this is bad it can't really be that bad can it?
