Prob should have folded to reraise preflop, I know.
I figured I could slowplay this for one street, was I wrong? Should I have check raised him on the flop? Little scary to proceed after the turn.

Pound his head in on the flop, no cheap diamonds. (personal thing with a 2-toned board).

From his PF raise it smacks of a boat on the turn and even more so with that river card, check/fold all the way for me here.

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
 That flop call is so bad Don't slowplay when a guy shows strength (as from his preflop reraise)

raise to 7$ on the flop, go all in on the turn and get broke on the river!

push all in on the flop, he likes his hand and w/ high cards on the board he could have easily hit something he likes. i think this is especially a good play out of position because it puts so much pressure on your opponent. i think a-k, a-a, k-k, q-q, t-t, maybe j-j all call you here at low limits.

raise flop to 7 or 8. this is a scary board, you do not want a diamond or paired board on the turn.

Aggressiveness on this flop looks so obvious to me now. In the midst of things I guess I forgot about the preflop reraise or something. I don't know, it's been a week.

I get the $7-8 raise, but what hand is calling a push turn (that called the raise) that doesn't have us beat? Or is the idea that we don't want a call and are gonna pay off a boat at this point?.

Is open pushing that great a play here? Anyone who pays any attention would know I'm on the tight side. I suppose the pots big enough, the board is dangerous enough, and the opponents hand range small enough to make it good though.

Open pushing is terrible. You can get much more value by raising.
My sig is too much for you to handle.

I figured, just trying to reason through dwags advice. Maybe he meant check-pushing.
