P: easy flat, no need to 3bet readless vs EP opens. We still must respect EP opens. (I assume we have no reads on UTG.)

Also, if you want to 3bet, then sizing of 3x is enough IP, 4x is too big, and leaves us with less room to maneuver postflop.

F: as played, bet bigger to 67-75% pot for max protection and pressure on A-highs, draws and low-mid pocket pairs.

Small bets accomplishes nothing in nl2: population treats them like checks.

T: as played, sort of a bad card, we have to slow down and pot control.

It's getting risky now with only TPGK, and we can't go for 3 streets of value anyway.

R: really bad card, even stationing 88 gets there, and ofcourse flush comes in.

This is either sick bluff or stone nuts, and we're playing guessing games. Usually when unknowns donk jam river in nl2 it's the nuts. I fold.
