Yuck. That turn card sucks. BB seems solid with those nubmers, though pretty aggro postflop. What's he 3 betting preflop and leading out with on that board that doesn't have an A? Probably not TT or 99, but maybe.

I would probably check behind - but then you're giving a free card to SB who sure looks like he's on a flush draw. You've still got outs to the str8 or 2 pair and this guy is defenitely check/raising an A here.

I'd check and call 1 bet on the river.

I'm betting the turn, I think BB is 3 betting as low as 88 or 99 here. He may call you down w/ QQ, and UTG has a flush draw or worse K or a stupid J there. Bet the turn.

What a poor spot. I think that I would bet/call here, trying to get a free showdown UI (with the bet part of this action).

got to check this through. I don't see any reason to risk a check raise. He amy have a Queen but so what. It's unlikely that he has 2 hearts.

I check here, get to showdown cheaply, or try and improve on the river. I don't wanna get cr here and I don't think our hand is strong enough to bet.

checking this turn misses out on a ton of value from UTG, If you have BB beat, he'll fold but not always, UTG doesn't want to go anywhere and will pay you off a lot w/ a worse hand here. I think you have to be able to fold to a river bet if BB c/r's and you don't improve on the river.

I assume you mean missing value against SB? I think our equity here is very very poor, the only hand BB could have now that we are reasonably ahead of is QQ and we are behind AK/AQ/AJ/AA/KK/JJ and tied with KQ

even if we happen to be ahead we're really not way ahead of anybody. let's just check and river a T.
