Overplayed TT into EP Raise?

The board looked like trouble but everyone acted weak

UTG is 41.38/5.75%PFR/0.67 AF/87 hands. I read him as textbook calling station. and he has gone to showdown 35% of the time

UTG+1 is 53.49/4.65%PFR/2.13 AF/43 hands. He's been killing the rest of the table with nonstop betting and taking most of the pots without showdown. I successfully isolated him twice and took down nice pots when he showed bottom pair.

I think UTG woke up with two pair on the river (AT, JT). I would assume UTG is would raise AA and JJ preflop, probably KQ as well, so I think you can rule out those hands. I think you're ahead enough on the river to 3-bet the raise.

UTG is a wuss, you are beat, and he's just calling down to "save" himself money. How about trying to get to showdown as cheap as possible by checking the turn and taking a free card?

UTG did raise preflop

With those reads I like the Preflop 3bet to isolate the two individuals. You've got a good hand and you have position

I bet it all the way and I three bet the river and call a cap.
The only hand you are behind is pocket AA/JJ - I don't think 55 raises PF. I think you get popped on the turn by AA or JJ.

Are you kidding about this?
The turn check is very weak - I'm not giving any free cards to the loose players. I might bet the turn then fold to raise but most likely call turn reraise and fold UI vs another river bet.

If UI it take the free card on the river only......

Yeah....

As for the concern about the PFR - If you are beat then there is nothing you can do about it. You've got a great hand and have to push that edge against loose opponents that have done nothing up to this point but call.

Actually, yeah, that's much better, bet turn, check behind on river.

Looks pretty darn good to me. I love it when I hit a set on the river.
