NH. Sucks you lost, but at 2nl, a board like this, stack sizes like this, and our hand, there isn't much else you can do.

He has 77, some 99, yeah. But he has a lot more Qx, a lot more flush draws, some JTs, and we block none of the hands we're trying to get value from aside from some frequency of AQ (some AQ is 3bet preflop).

What are we protecting from? This doesn't seem like the type of hand that should need or want protection. We're risking getting blown off of our hand, we have a great TP hand against a wide LP range, and we block quite a few hands we would want protection against - JT, J9, KJ, daimond draws, etc. Given our hand and positions, I'd just sit back and xc all the way down.

Once the turn comes, what are we protecting against, and what are we trying to get value from? Diamonds got there. Gutshot straights, aside from specifically KdJx and KdTx, are feeling pretty bad. They also pick up a bit of equity and could blow us off of our hand. QT, Q8, JT, Ad3x(?) seem to be the few hands that can call a turn bet. We do pick up the pot quite a bit, but we're going to bloat the pot OOP and could face difficult turn and river decisions.

River we do have to just sigh call imo. The A sucks, but he isn't taking a hand like KQ for value here. He could value bet Ad or a flush, but he also has no SDV with a hand like JT. Getting 4 to 1, he doesn't need many bluffs.

Your opponent cannot have the one hand you shouls be afraid of in this spot - KQss. KsQx isn't pleasant, but it's still only 3 to a flush and we are "freerolling" more often than he is "freerolling" us, as we definitely have a spade and he only has one 33% of the time when he has KQ.

When we have a great chance to be freerolling or ahead 65/35, I will get my wallet out and try to shovel wallet money into the pot if my opponent wants to as well.

I'd jam on the turn. Quite a few terrible turn cards for our specific hand. As was said earlier, it probably isn't "GTO", but neither us nor our opponents are playing GTO at 5nl.

River is a call. Not super snappy, but still a call. Note that the J creates a rather hidden straight with the KT and T8. It's not as obvious as if the K or 8 had come on the turn. So, an opponent could easily overvalue a hand like QJ, J9, or even a slowplayed set like 66 or 99. As for bluffs, I'm not entirely sure what hand would turn themselves into a pure bluff aside from 87hh and AThh.

Think this has to be a bet, even multiway. Can get value from KQ/KJ/JJ(sometimes)/AK. Also note that any hands that beat us are fairly vulnerable, so they'll raise at a high frequency. I don't expect to get bluff-raised because this is a multiway pot. I don't see a problem with bet/jam on safe turns, and just fold when raised.
