It is a 3 way pot.
Note the flop raiser, and turn raiser are different.
What do you think are reasonable ranges for SB and MP3?

Any preflop reads on MP3? I dont like how he calls 2 cold to your flop 3-bet - and then decides to jam the turn when you hit your A (he sees it hit the turn just as clearly as you do). I might just close the turn action and re-evaluate the river. There are a few cards I don't want to see here. SB on KcQc? MP3 on TT; slowplayed KK or AA; bad cold call QJ? Your knowledge of his preflop standards should help you out on the turn.

SB is 20/10 MP3 is 30/15 but only over about 50 hands.

Why not raise the river? You're only beat by QJ and a set. The only set possible here is a set of sevens. Only SB and BB could possibly play QJ. SB isn't raising. Also, if MP3 had a set and slow-played it on the flop it's bad due to the board giving a lot of action. Raise/call?

Although I don't like to slow-play AA/KK here. It would be super-effective in this particular hand, but you're not getting the max value for it. Plus, wouldn't you cap the flop if you're slow-playing? Unless, of course, he has KK in which case he might think his hand is strong enough to slow play (which it's not due to flush/straight draws)

I'm guessing you were straighted. You shouldnt raise this river, the capped turn is an obvious sign of strength but the pot is too big to fold.

Yeah I am guessing you're up against QJ here too.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Results in white below:
SB has Td Th (three of a kind, tens).
Hero has Kh Ac (two pair, aces and kings).
MP3 has Jd Qh (straight, ace high).
Outcome: MP3 wins 23.50 BB.
