Middle set on river, two villains, poss straight/wet board ($5NL micros)

[rowhousepd]

FYI, I checked the flop bc there were overcards and it was multiway on a drawy board. I was mostly afraid of the UTG who easily could have had a Q (poss AQ or KQ, or maybe KK). But when everyone checked on the F and then UTG checked again on the turn, I had to put in a good sized bet for value and to thin the herd. I wasn't worried about OESD's as I didn't think he'd PFR & call a 3bet w/ like KJ or J9, so I thought I was still ahead even on the turn since flush draws were now my biggest concern.

Am I ok in this line of thinking?

Even if he had an OESD your still ahead by a good bit. You're probably right about them rarely having it pre. The main reasons to bet here are protection from A/K rivers and value betting vs draws and Tx. I think your bet sizing is perfect.

Also, I didn't think UTG had QQ, flopped a set, and then was prepared to check to the river. Ditto w/ a set of tens. And probably ditto w/ an AA or KK overpair. These plus AKs/o are definitely w/in their range -- suited was a possibility but definitely not off-suit as that would have just been an inside straight draw w/ overcards. But still I think a 75% pot bet on the turn would make it a mistake to call w/ anything that was only drawing ... I think.

Does that sound reasonable?

You need to put them on ranges and figure out your equity. If I'm not mistaken you only need like 28% equity to make this a call I think since you're being asked to call $2.15 in order to win $7.77 (.2767)

Uggg. (Ok, here's my newbie-ness showing.) How does this work exactly? I put this through PokerStove vs. 2 villains each a ~6% range. (That might be conservative, but it's probably not waaay off.) My equity is almost exactly 25%. Still a bit confused though.

3bet pre is interesting. Reasoning?
reads on button are important, absent reads and bet-fold flop all day, about $0.75 should get it done.

Would you have just called PFR from UTG w/ JJ? Didn't have any great reads on them except their stats -- both were pretty sane.
