5NL - TPWK Line Check
I don't think we can profitably raise the flop and calling the turn seems like a no brainer since it doesn't really change much.
It seems like bluff catching, can we call River here? My thoughts are no since triple barrel bluffs seem virtually non-existent at 5nl

Fold preflop. T9s is already a losing call from BTN vs CO 3BB open (see GTOwizard screenshot below), here you face a bigger bet and a stronger range because they are isolating a limper. There are far enough complex postflop situations we face when playing proper, boring preflop ranges, no need make our life harder exploring places where the solver itself expects it'll lose money. Maybe if we had a big edge on our opponents it would be profitable and interesting, but if we had a big edge we would be playing higher limits.
Postflop I feel like the hand plays itself on flop and turn. You have a very good bluffcatcher I imagine on the river, as they should not bluff with spades because they want you to have busted spades. Which you happen to have but you also have a pair! Maybe I'm totally wrong though on how the spot is supposed to work . I think in practice they have it far too often for the call to be profitable but I would still make it because it's only $2.53.

3bet or fold PF. Suited connectors play poorly without initiative and fold equity.
Maybe a CC would be ok if we have good reads, like that MP always has a small PP when he OL's, and that CO will tell us OTF if he has an overpair with his action/sizing.
