UTG+1 is LA-P, MP2 is TA-A.

My main question is if i whould fold on the river when i face the raises.

I think you played it fine. MP2 I think is more likely to have a set of queens or tens than the straight, given the preflop raise. Since UTG is loose, he could have anything, and might be trying to steal with 2 pair or AQ.

By the way, cut off the HH at your river action next time. The fact that UTG called instead of capping may have influenced me. I still think you have to call this, regardless, but his call without caping leads me to believe that you're beating him.

While its possible that either UTG or MP2 could have had AJ or J9 for a straight, you could still have had the best hand.

Neither of them knew that you had a set of K's. They could quite easily have just put you on top pair with a hand like AK, and improved to something like 2 pair. MP2 could also have been calling with QQ and just improved to a smaller set.

You were getting pot odds of about 8:1 to call, so I think that you made the correct decision to call, even if you subsequently lost this hand.

Hell no. I don't care what kind of reads you have. Don't fold. You played this fine.

I would probably call this. I guess you need to be good about 13% of the time here.

MP2 being a TA-A may have been raising with AJs, but also could have KQ, QQ.

You only have to be good 1:7 or 8 to make this call. With a set of kings I say do it.

Hand history. He means don't show what UTG does after you cause it may effect how we'd see the decision. When you had to make the decision in play you still didn't know what he was gonna do behind you. Just end the hand replay after the action you had a question with.
