    Based on you saying you got away with something, then I think you were bluffing/semi-bluffing at some point in the hand. You may have hit on the river or whiff and pulled off the double barrel.

    Flop (A T 3 r): Facing a min bet, you need to call with most of your range. On this unconnected board, in addition to any pair you need to call with all sorts of backdoor draws. Can continue with any two broadways (gutshots), suited connectors and one gappers like J9s, 98s, 87s 45s that have backdoor flush and straight draws.

    Turn (A T 3 9 hh): The 9h adds a flush draw to any two heart hands (KhJh, 5h4h) Open-ended straight draw has bee added to hands like QJ, J8, and 87. Single pair hands that now have two pair are A9 and T9. The best drawing hands to check raise with are hands with decent equity but no showdown value. 5h4h and 87 are the best candidates.

    River (A T 3 9 Q): The queen has added a pair to some hands (QJ) and completed straight for others (KJ, J8). A single pair hand would usually bet small or check. You make a big polarized bet. Your value are sets (33, 99), two pair (T9), and straights (KJ, J8) . Bluffs are missed draws 87 and 45.

    My guess is 5h4h.
