    Turn sizing is pretty awful, make it bigger and shove river for < PSB.

    Firstly, I believe this hand may be in the wrong section? Don't know if 50NL is micro or not so I could be wrong.

    Also, try not to post results with your hands if you want good feedback.

    I'm folding the flop.

    Pre seems fine to me.

    I am raising turn, but I am raising much bigger, prob around $25-28 to set up a river shove.

    Also, do you use any sort of HUD? Stats for villain help for better feedback as well.

    Raise turn much harder. It's a turn card that hits his range a lot, and he will have lots of two pairs, pairs+straight draws etc that can't fold. Or combo draw with FD's.

    Don't mind pre flop or flop. We can bluff diamonds pretty effectively here with these stacks and K we have a good amount of implied odds on given how hard it should hit him. Turn sizing is really bad as has been noted.

    Welcome to FTR dude!

    Pre is pretty marginal imo and bordering between fold and 3bet. I guess call is okay as long as there are no squeezers behind and villain is the type to one-and-done - how is he looking post-flop?

    When villain calls the turn raise, what range do you put him on and how does that interact with the river?

    U can't just fold on the river for that price, call it
    If things were to magically revert to January 1st, 2003, only I could take everything I know now in terms of poker ability/knowledge, bonus clearing, etc., I think it's safe to say that it would be trivially easy to make over a million dollars.
