T4s in SB, River decision

UTG+1 hasn't been in the game for long but has played 5 out of 8 hands. Why did he wait until the turn? I thought it was more likely he had flopped a set than exactly T9. Since there were 3 tens out already he could have T9 3 ways. And the other hands alot more ways. Is my thinking correct on this and should I 3-bet this river?

You should 3-bet the turn for sure. Given that you didn't the river should be an automatic 3-bet here.

Does anyone else fold this preflop? I normally want 3 limpers in front of me to call this in the SB so I get 9:1 if BB calls.

Yes, I would have probably folded pre-flop. I didn't even look at pre-flop in my initial response - pot size told me there was no pre-flop raise so I assumed he was in the BB.

It's close though and probably doesn't matter much.

I would probably not call pf here. Having said that, not 3 betting the river is criminal

I 3-bet the river and he capped, I called and he showed me T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Happens [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
