Hello
first i would raise preflop to 0.15/17. Then a bet at this flop is good, but yours is very high. And after this bet was called: What hands could he have that you beat. 10s, but Else? Not many.

I think you should have checked and possibly folded then.

Preflop 0,15-0,20 3bet. Flop is super dry even against a fish I go 1/2-2/3 on those boards. Turn blank go 1/2 pot. R 1/2pot or block then fold to a raise, if player is passive, check call if player aggressive.

You need to 3bet more preflop otherwise everything is getting a price to call. On a board like that you should cbet small not overbet as it's super dry. When he calls an overbet he almost always has a 9, 22 or overpair, so you really need to check turn and potentially fold if he bets big

Pro tip: NEVER POST THE RESULT FIRST!!! Hard to get honest feedback if you do!

• PRE: V opens to 2.5 bbs, we should 3-bet to 10 or 11 bbs OOP.
  
  Why? We are out of position and don't want to give V a price. If we make it too small, V can profitably call wider and use his position against us (it's always harder to play out of position).
  
  
• FLOP: 992ss.
  
  • Who has better hands here- you or the PF caller?
    
    -Since you made it smaller pre, V can have a lot of 9s, and even 22, while you should never have 22, and likely have way lesser 9x.
    -On the other hand, you should have all the QQ+ (bc you 3-bet small, v should 4-bet QQ for value), so while you don't have a nut advantage you have an overall equity advantage
    • As a result, you should polarize your betting and bet a larger sizing (1/2 to 2/3 pot... I like 1/2 pot here since the board is paired)
    • You overbet here... which means you have a GREAT HAND or NOTHING... as we said, you have good, but not great hands (little 9x, a lot of over pairs) so we should avoid this sizing.
      
      *NOTE I am just realizing you went 3 way to a flop. I'd just check range here, or bet 1/3 (I'm checking all AA and KK multi, JJ needs some protection) Advise above is for HU.
  • I'm also regretting using these bullet points, Jesus lord...
    
    
• TURN. 9923sscc
  • Given flop play (over-bet multiway and a flat) I'd assume you are against a VERY strong range. I'd check JJ.
  • Heads up, if we played normally on the flop (1/2 pot bet) I'd continue 2/3 on this blank card with JJ. Again, JJ can get value (most Vs are calling down with 88, 77, etc here, ofc there are flush draws) and it needs protection ( a bit).
  • We should play conservatively Vs raises and call with better hands (9x blockers, flush draw unblockers)
    

Don't make it easy for people to play against you! If you bet massive, they can profitably fold 88- and just call with trips or better... think about it, homie!

TLDR: "What worse hands call?" and "Raise bigger pre!"

Never post the result of your hands either first or last IMO.

Preflop
Its fine to 3-bet JJ in this situation, but your sizing is way to small. The standard size out of position is 4X, which would be 20c, and you only made it 8c. When you go this small, BTN is never going to fold, and this time you even picked up BB as well forcing you to go to a flop 3-ways out of position.

Flop
I would also bet here, but a small bet like half pot or even less is enough. You are not trying to make better hands fold, so this is a bet for value and protection, and the issue with going so large is, you make it to difficult for worse hands to continue. If someone have AQ or 44 and face a bet of more than pot, are they really going to give that action? Probably not, so when you go this large and still get action, it already become a real concern, that you might be beat.

And its important to realise, you dont have the nuts here. Maybe they would have 4-bet QQ-AA preflop, so we can discount those hands. But because of your 3-bet sizing either player can easily have a 9. Hands like A9, K9, Q9, J9, T9, 98s, 97s are all a standard open from BTN, and when its just 3c more for them to call your 3-bet, of course they pay to see a flop. So you also need to think about protecting your stack, when you no longer have the best hand.

Turn
You should never have gotten to the turn this way, so its not even really worth analysing. But when you pile it in, now you are definitely creating a situation, where you are almost always beat, when you get action. Maybe occationally BTN can have a hand like TT or 88 and decide to not believe you. But the vast majority of the time you will get called by trips or occationally by the bottom boat, which is, what he actually had this time.
