These spots are always tough for me. I took the turn minraise straight from Miffed2201 and it worked to let me see the showdown for free. NH?

villain looks like they have either a bigger over pair or ace high. pushing might be best

In these spots I usually just call down because there is nothing else you can do. If he fires small on any river I would call. If he bets big on a diamond river I'd call, otherwise I'd fold.

I think all three options can be used on the turn call/fold/raise.
If i call turn then i dont expect my opponent to fire on river without the goods, he's simply not good enough IMO.
If i raise the turn i get to showdown without it costing, but if opp calls turn he maybe has a fd and overs or a big pair, so we are probably beat.
Obviously you can shove the river and hope he cant make a read and call which is a decent play but meh we dont have to be that fancy.
Folding also isnt horrible but not my favourite option as your opponent is likely tight and not firing the turn without a hand or biggish draw.
I think this lets you show down for chap whether or not you are beat, it also lets you set up some river plays versus weak players

I was going to suggest this. Shouldn't we be reraising flop to define villian's range when it is cheapest.

I'd either reraise flop or go into pot size control mode and call the turn. Can't say an aggressor wouldn't bet every street on a fd, and if he makes a hpsb or psb on the riv, that's a tough call. any other reads? lose? tight?

Raising the flop or playing it the way you did are the best options, and I think they are very close. What is the read on villian? Because of the possible flush draw, raising the flop may be slightly better.

I agree 100%. I've been seeing a minraise 3-bet a lot lately, with holdings regularly varying from ATo to AA.

Please explain; I don't agree with this (outside of a limit context) on the flop. Right now, both villian and our actions are standard opening lines with wide ranges. Raising on the flop saves us money by forcing hands to fold that will draw out on us and there are A,K,Q,J, diamond scare cards we don't want to see (A,Ko is a drawing hand here). Also, we have fold equity while the pot is still low and we save money by not calling down hands that crush us. If called on the flop we can still see a showdown by checking the turn if a scare card hits or if villian is read to checkraise us with air. What do you do if a A,K,Q,J, or diamond hits the turn and river? Still calldown? Don't we lose more if we are bluffed out of the pot?
A situation where we win the most and lose the least by checking is the following (Concept from King Yao-Weighing the Odds)
Villian: assume he is very aggro and will bet if checked to
Us: 10,10
Same preflop, vilian c-bets, we raise flop, villian calls, turn is an ace. At this point, we are either still ahead or behind, but if we bet again on the turn, villian could checkraise us and we would fold. Also, if we bet again, he folds unless he has us beat. By checking, we either induce a bluff on the river (we win), he checks we check (we will see), he bets lower as a value bet not knowing if we call (we lose less), or he goes all in and we fold (least likely but possible). In this fact pattern, we win the most and lose the least by checking the turn, calling the river as the standard line. An added bonus for no limit is we control the pot as well.

- Too many turncards that ruin either our hand or our action
- Majority of weaker hands we win money against are 9+ outer, most likely we´re up against Fd + overs. Charge them now.
- Calling leaves us blind without a clue where we at. A raise on flop doesnt cost more than a call on a blank turn. In case we call a brick on turn we may still be forced to call a blank river as well and let him set the price to draw out on us.

What range can we give villain on flop?
- TT+
- 98s-JTs (no 2 dimaonds)
- 66-77
- 2 diamonds (either Axdd, KQdd or a good combo of FD + gutshot)
- Ax (no 2 diamonds)
- Maybe adding hands like QT, KJ.
If we raise flop what hands would he fold? only hands like 66-77 or maybe Axdd (where x < 3) and KJ.
However, a lot of his range he would either call or push.
Without any reads, villain has $190 so most likely he is aggressive and with a lot of combos he would 4bet/push that flop or call with better.
I prefer Deanglow line. I think our only option here is call 1/2-1/3 down to river.

How I play here depends on my read on the villain, without any info I think you played it fine.
Raising the flop might very well be the best option if we had some info, but without it's not something I would recommend.

I don't think he likes his hand much given the size of his turn bet. Min-raising for a showdown might be a worse line than floating a river to turn our hand into a bluff or just trying to take it away on the turn.
It depends on how and what kind of bad I think he is. Some guys are always weak on this turn but it doesn't matter because you can't take it away.
