I think a turn lead is better because he can use the diamond on the turn to try and blow you out of the pot. Given that you have reraised him quite a bit folding shouldn't really even be crossing your mind here.

if i lead turn, hes folding everything that i beat.

the fact that ive reraised him obv should cross my mind because its unlikely for him to put me on such a big hand

He isn't folding a set here, and leading the turn can easily induce a bluff vs a tricky opponent. He knows he has fold equity with stacks this deep and he knows you can't call a raise with AK if you lead the turn, so betting is good imo. If you're checking the turn it's only to induce a bluff, I wouldn't really ever consider folding if you had been reraising him a lot preflop. You reraised him preflop for this exact reason, to set him up in a big pot. Now you reraise him and on the turn you don't think he is calling with any worse hands than top set and isn't capable of making a move?

i dont think he is calling with a set because he would have probably raised a set on the flop. i dont think a bet gets value except from something like A6s which is really unlikely

How about c/c turn, c/c river (unless it's a fourth non-pairing )?

I don't think you can value bet here, because there are no obvious 2nd best hands.. A turn/river raise represents the flush and will only get called by a flush right?

Why not push and try to take the pot down? If he bets and you call arent you just asking to get raped if a non pairing diamond falls on the river?

If you push here the only hands which will call are hands which beat us. ie flushes. All the hands we could actually extract money from just fold.

villain either has a set, an overpair to the flop, or a flush

if I felt that villain has a set I would lead, for value and also so he doesn't catch a flush if he has a diamond in his hand

if I thought villain had an overpair on the flop, the ace of diamonds is not a card he wanted to see, and would make him more inclined to fold when pressured- however, I would still bet here if you think he had overs on the flop, since your actions up to this point indicate to the villain that you're likely not on the flush

if he has the flush you want to check and try to see the river cheaply
however, given the preflop action, the only hands villain could be holding here is KdQd, KdJd, QdJd, or 10dJd

weighing all this, I think it makes it correct for gabe to lead here on the turn- I think he's giving up value and making it harder for himself by checking and giving up the initiative

dont you think with deep stacks he could have a much wider range of sooted hands?

also, if villian has set they are almost always raising flop. i dont think they have a set much here. i think its probably one pair hands > flush > set. i haevnt played any big pots with villian since i started reraising though so i cant be certain.

hes 21/18 and hes at alot of my tables, but like i said no read. i usually just automatically assume that with deep stacks people have a bigger calling range (because of more implied odds), but thats probably a mistake.

you listed JTd in a possible range, and ifhe calls with that preflop i dont see why he wouldnt call with T9d.

hmm. i think raising the turn isn't a bad play. if he doesn't have the goods then the check to induce a bluff was good, and you can take it down now. if he reraises your turn raise he probably has the flush. if he just calls, then i think there's a good chance your hand is either good, or you'll have outs on the river to fill up.

just calling seems weak, and i think if you c/c the turn then he can probably take the hand away from you on the river, especially if another diamond falls

i really can't bring myself to see folding here as a good play

I think I like calling and leading a blank river. If the board pairs, maybe go for a river c/r? What is your plan if a non-board pairing diamond hits the river? I'm still not sure what to do in this case.

FYP IMO

Surely if a non board pairing diamond appears it has to be a c/f.

Just call. Check-call if you don't boat up and check-raise if you do.

call turn

on the river if you don't improve, either bet 1/3 pot or check, I would lean towards checking

his range is wider than what I initially suggested if his stats are 21/18
