vs average reg i think your call down line is not +EV

many regs will decrease DB frequency on board pairing turns and of course OOP. i would expect his turn DB range to at least have strong equity v our 99 ie Kx, NFD, maybe some random air with 6 outs + ability to bluff you off on club river

as played i think the river is close because he is now representing a very narrow range on this board and given he might go for XC with some Kx combos

You have a bluff catcher vs UTG and need info on his tendencies to call river. If for instance you knew that he opens really wide and frequently bluffs then calling river is great. However I don't think the average player does that, and I'd assume most unknowns have KQ+ very often with this line.

Maybe you had such reads (you didn't tell us though) and we see that UTG took a very strange line, choosing to bet the turn as a pure bluff with no added fold equity from board texture. Additionally he rivered 2nd pair and decided to bet again. Unless he has a read on you he is misplaying his hand because against the average player in your position that takes your line he'll often only get money in against a range better then his hand. Basically he is turning his hand into a bluff. If you take note of that it can help in future hands.

I think this call down here vs utg would be a losing play vs most regs, but given that... 1) he barreled turn with absolutely no equity and 2) he made a do-nothing (not really value or bluff) bet on the river, it becomes an easy call down against this player. If you had reads that indicated he would do this, nice hand. If not you may have been a bit lucky.

I would make a note of his river sizing, a little over half pot. It's typical of some weak players to give away their hand strength with their bet-sizing. He bet small with a weak pair. It's likely he would use different sizing with a strong hand or air, which you can use to your advantage later on.
