Shove the turn,UTG probably chasing flush draw.

so my play wasn't that bad was it? maybe could have been better, like you say - shove the turn.

but since i didn't shove on turn, should i not have bet on the river?

what if i didn't bet on the river and checked it back to him and then he bet 1/2 or 3/4 pot, what would i do then? call? fold?

You can either check or min bet,but i would fold if villain place 1/2 or 3/4 cause odd are looking pretty bad already.

Against fishy opponents you can go x4 for 3bet sizing.

Flop i'd generally lead out being quite a juicy board, we don't want to be giving any free cards unless you know your opponent will cbet most boards but remember we do have the control at this point when the flop comes out.

Turn looks safish but who knows if you think their fish it could help them but I'm still 3/4 the pot.

river hmmm tough against 2 opponents, i'd probably check/fold... Not really caring bout the shortstack, but deeper stacks generally player wider because the implied odds are there.

i bet the turn because BB was already all-in so i assumed he was the one with flush or trips. i was going heads up with UTG for the side pot so i bet the river assuming he had AQ or KK. bad thinking?

also, by the time that river card came out i had already put in a lot of money in the pot. so was it too late to back out/fold? would this hand have ended like this in most of the cases - everybody going all-in after turn?

Sorry I see three big problems with this hand all of which relate to bet sizing, the first is
UTG raises to $0.12, 3 folds, Hero raises to $0.24,
That is simply a mistake. you are out of position and deep stacked, to take away his positional advantage you must raise bigger and get the money in faster. Your small raise also encouraged in the short stack BB but as we have aces we don't mind that so much, but if we had KK or QQ we dont want the BB along with a ragged ace. 3.5 to 4x is required here and as he is UTG his range is stronger so you can consider 4-5 x. personally i'd make it 45-50c
Your 2nd clanger is not leading out on the turn with a flush draw and semi connected low straight draw. I would be betting a minimum of 75% on the turn.
Think of the value you will get out of AQ in this spot which is a massive part of any players 3bet calling range. In fact that hand is calling a full pot cbet, so go large, get value and charge the draws.
So you decided to check raise....UTG bets $0.46, Hero raises to $0.92, again your sizing is all wrong and just keeps in all his draws with their implied odds. Call his 46 and bet the size of the pot. so around $1.60 minimum
The offsuit 7 on the turn is still a great card for our hand, no draws come in.
If you had got in a bigger 3bet early you should have folded out most hands with a 7 like 87, 67 suited.
If you had got the money in appropriately earlier then normally you are closer to a clean shove all in on the turn.
The third mistake is your river sizing,
Once you let them see the river all the flushes and some straights come in so if you bet what worse is calling, maybe only AQ. In which case you should put out a small blocking bet of about 20% pot. If AQ calls then great but we fold to raises. The river bet was waayyy to big and as a result you felt compelled to throw in the rest. There is a lot to consider here my friend

thanks a lot for taking your time to reply

yes, i now see there's a lot of things to consider here. will be more watchful next time in similar situations

but anyway here's what the showdown looked like

now just curious to know, how would you guys have played this you were the UTG with 77?

The fact that he had 77 shows why the preflop min 3bet is a mistake.
Would you call with 77 utg to a big 3bet from the blinds? Personally 99+ is my 3bet calling range in that spot. But to your sizing I'd call with 77. He played it well never alerting you to the strength of his hand and making it look like he was chasing a draw.

Always fold A's.
