I honestly think he just has a Jx hand like AJ a lot here. He also has some flushes. He could just be messing around with AQ or AK, but I don't think he would use that sizing on the river with those hands. Without a diamond I think this is a fold.

Obviously T9s SB/UTG is thin 3bet. Because 3x UTG range suppose to be fairly tight.
This flop doesn't look too bad for you, so I'd go 1/2 with like 70-80% of my range, checking is reasonable. River is fine to fold you block JTss and 99, however you block Tx bluffs in his range. So I like to call 98 instead but that's not suppose to 3bet and TTd better bluffcatcher than T9.
Side note - this turn suppose to checked 80-85% by you so your range fairly strong.
Not sure if I like folding River tbh. Its correct that blockers are meh on calling. But imo we are to high up in our range for a fold here, esp. due to tha fact we basically have about 0 JX in our range. I guess im making the crying call here.
I think the 3B preflop is ok, even though i prefer 78s/89s a bit (cause they are a bit less often dominated by QTs-ATs)
Hero folds pre because rake is too high
I think rake is the last (or not at all) reason to not 3bet this hand, or to decide whether to do it.
The only parameter should be profitability.
When you pay rake, the amount PRs are taking away from the pot have to be taken into account.
A close decision could be shifted toward a pure action based on rake.
Also, rake affects some dynamics, let's take GG network for example. It has a preflop rake, this changes everything.
Unfortunately, we all play in raked games, so you have to overcome it in order to be profitable
This is something very far from being a close decision.
I would tighten up your 3b range SB vs UTG. You get called in this spot entirely too much. I would include T9s vs CO/BTN but not vs EP/MP. Check your 3b success in this spot, I am going to guess its between 18% to 25%. I would stick to a linear approach with like 99 or TT+, suited broadways, AKo, Mixing AQo and then something like A5/A4 (where I have a better shot at out-flopping some of the pairs he calls with).
I like your approach but i wouldn't include hands like A4/A5. Not sure they're doing that great vs UTG range.
I have zero problem with leaving them out entirely, but, should we 3b light once in a while, I still like using A5s/A4s vs T9s since QQ/JJ/TT/99 are squarely going to be in UTG's call range (QQ they will mix as a 4b). That is a lot of combos we can out flop.
Not to mention, we flop more dominated hands that are hard to let go of when we have T9s.
Hmm, well wouldn't you be in bad shape equity wise against all those combos?
I guess that's only one part of his range.
I wonder how A5s/A4s does against a reasonable UTG (LJ) raise call range. I might have to look into it.
I think to 3 bet this hand vs UTG (LJ) you would have to assume Villain is going to overfold
