Folding TPBK at river in multiway?
 

SB is 19/6/1 over 100 hands
UTG+2 is 56/3/1 over 40 hands
Button is 40/7/1 over 40 hands

I hate laying down river bets in decent sized pots, but I didn't think I was good enough to raise the turn or river. I was also afraid of being re-raised by the button if I called. SBs bet signalled trips to me. Was this too weak or a long run good play?

why no turn bet?

Noone showed any strength on the flop.
I'm betting the turn and folding to a raise.

I'm not sure about being bet into on this river. I want to say fold, but I'd probably call. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Do you think QQTTJ is good here 1 in 9 times?

Didn't like the J, thinking that one of the 3 would have a JT, K9, 98, or a bigger Q. Having them all call my flop raise made me (overly?) defensive.

Looking back, think this was a big mistake.

One reason you can fold is because it wasn't the button that bet the river.

You induced a bet by the button on the turn by checking to him. He could easily have a lesser hand. Your check said you were just testing the flop.

I'd have bet the turn. It makes the hand easier to play, don'tcha think?
