Hmm well I'd have gotten it in on the turn as played.

I think preflop I will probably edge towards a fold. SB is squeezing vs a UTG raiser and I think this just leads to some tricky spots with AQo.

I'd check the flop. Really hard to get value from worse (TT-JJ we get one street from these hands), QQ-AA all within their range here too. Sure they have draws but think it's small part.

I'm not going to value bet the turn if I bet the flop so I expect them to donk shove the river a lot if we take the line we did. Turn I'd have gone small like $1.50 or so and most likely checking the river as I don't expect worse value hands TT-JJ to call 2 streets.

Folding river as played.

To recap: I'd check-bet-check because I think we only get 1 street of value from worse hands.

Not a fan of preflop without any reads. It just doesn't make sense when SB is squeezing an UTG opener. I would prefer a fold.

As played I think I'd shove the turn to avoid villain freerolling a spade on you, otherwise checking behind makes sense to allow him to bluff the river. We should expect him to stack KK+ pre so we shouldn't be value cutting ourselves if he doesn't bet the river and we shove.
