PREFLOP: Standard

FLOP: I think you should fold, since you really dont have a hand and you dont have the odds to draw to your one overcard draw/backdoor straight/flush draw. I know you dont respect the villain's flop bet, but since you have nothing I would fold.

TURN: Calling is better than raising since, there is no way the villain is folding a pair. So I agree with your turn play.

RIVER: Now the fun part. I see why you raised. Becuz you think there is a strong chance you have the BB beat, and now youre trying to freeze the SB out of the hand in case he has a Queen. This is obviously a risky/debatable play. I believe your play will fail the majority of time here, but that doesnt make it the wrong play since the reward is very high(ie you win the pot) So the question is will this play work enough to be worth it based on the pot odds you are getting. My honest opinion: I dont think so. The problem here is the BB has been betting the whole way, and now hes betting this river on a QJT8x board with two other opponents in the pot, I think there is a very good chance the BB has you beat and we both know he will never fold a hand your ahead of. The small blinds hand is impossible to define since the SB has been just calling the whole way, but there is still a significant chance the SB has you beat also and will not fold to your raise. The BB would have to be a complete retard to bet this river with a hand thats not better than yours and even though there are many people like this on party, I dont think this villain is THAT crazy.
