What is your range of hands for UTG here and how do you feel about the bets on the flop and the turn. What should my plan be if UTG comes over top of me on the flop or the turn.

I quickly fold preflop unless you have a note that villain will do this with AJ or worse (which often times they will, I've see it done with A9s).

Flop is marginal at best, you're trying to steal from a missed AK or JJ? If this is your read, you really have to raise way more on the turn. The river fold is mandatory anyway, but this hand only got tough because you decided to call a bet preflop when you are vastly behind the likely range of hands.

the converter messed up. SB is the main villain. UTG was allin by the turn. SB leads all in on the river.

check out the edited hand history post in this thread. as you say i put SB on AK, JJ.

on the flop i think he will lead AA, KK there. He may check call a set but QQ is very unlikely since i am holding one of the Q's. TT is still in the realm of possible hands though.

On the turn, I did not want to blow him out of the hand in case UTG, who may have some wierd two pair, had me beat. I want to extract some value so i made a bet he can call but still doesn't give him proper odds. wasn't $15 on the turn enough for this? on the types of hands i put him on he will be drawing anywhere from 3 to 7 cards.

on the river i fold if a K, J or possibly a 9 comes (very remote). if a spade comes i still call.

as for the preflop call, this is a short handed game and i have position. i won't automatically fold this hand just because i face some slight aggression.
