so, the villain was some sort of weak tag regular
I think his range is basically Air, sets and draws, the flop seems really easy decision to me because I want to maintain his air range in the hand and shove makes no sense to me, since I don't think he is valuebetting Tx and he is only calling my shove with better hands

so my plan was to call the flop c/rai the turn, since I know there's a bunch of air and draws in his range, and I want to put him in bad spots
but the problem is that I'm oop, he's probably cbh draws and I'm not happy giving him free cards, and I'm not sure if he is barreling with air this blank turn
thought about leading the turn, but meh

the river is kinda ez call because my hand is underrepresented and it's a good card for him to bluff, but I'm not really sure because of his bet size

thoughts about flop, turn and river ?
I'm not happy with the way I played this hands, but I'm not sure how I should play

if he is on set, why checks the turn? give u a free card which could be diamond and help u for a flush isn't good for him.
so, I think re raises the flop cause he is on the flush draw.

Now, he is paying you preflop your raise. In position it's possible to play some Axs, Kxs, Qxs, some suited connectors, depending on his range, A lot of hands with 4 diamond. So he might have set, and this is why he raises u on flop - he thinks u have nothing.

I believe 70% chance for set, 30% chance for missed flush draw and he is bluffing u, because u check twice the turn and river.

Yeah i think calling the raise is best on the flop since his range is as u said sets or air. Once you call i think he gives up on the hand, and the river bet is rarely a bluff i think, since it hits his range so often. KQ and QJ just got there which is a big part of his cold calling /bluff raise flop range

I don't really mind how you played this at all. The plan on the turn is good. Check/raising allin is fine. His line makes no sense at all and the only thing you are probably beat by is some rivered queen.

An alternative line is bet/calling flop and then donking turn and shoving river for value. You plan on getting it in anyway and by doing this you can get it in comfortably. Only downside is that if he's on total air you miss out on one bet. As a standard rule I would never worry about sets on boards like this because you have a really strong hand anyway. If he does show up with a set it's just a cooler and it's totally fine to play this hand for stacks.

I actually like donkbetting turn after calling the flop. Puts him in a weird spot and he's not gonna know how to deal with it at all I think.

Hm i really dont like stacking off against a weak regular here. If he does this with AT and his sets we are flipping. If he does not raise AT we are dead.
Also my reasoning for the river fold is, that people dont delayed bluff. Very rarely have i seen a player bluff an overcard that hit on the river at least on 50NL . May be different at the stakes you play =)

Pretty wierd line.

I think the flop is pretty good for you. The flop bet is awful. Villain could easily raise with a 10.
Bet the turn because you're out of position and the villain might check behind.
He bet because he didn't see much agression from you and think you have air or a very weak hand (like a low pair or a busted flush draw).

You're in good shape IMO

Remember that we are playing a game for money and that we are good at that game.
