My Thoughts And Questions

Flop very drawy and seeing that the turn bricks and the villian flatted the flop i got to put alot of draws in his range and believe my J here is good enough of the time. He might even fold a AJ here some of the times with me strongly representing the Q.

On the river my hand is now a bluff catcher as i dont see a point leading river with only better hands calling me and busted draws folding. Looking at villian he seems aggro enough to be bluffing a busted draw. I would actually prefer he bet the river a bit bigger as i think that would make more of this range bluffs. Is my call good?

wait so is your jack good and you're betting for value or is he folding AJ and you're betting as a bluff?

I'm not sure if it's a good line, but I c/c turn and c/f river
I think he doesn't have a draw that often because a lot of the time he'd raise it on the flop if it's a strong draw, and bet turn if it's a weak draw to give up on the river

btw what are you doing when he raises the flop?

I was thinking that there are so many draws out there that my J is good here a lot, and on some occasssions it wont be with him holding AJ (non diamonds) but i think he might even find a fold with it occassionally.

Yeah if get raised on flop without reads i am in so many types of ugly its not funny. How do you handle medium strength hands OOP vs aggressive villian on a drawy board ?

I do agree now looking at it, that an aggressive villain would raise his good draws. So does his call then tell us that he has a weak made hand and/or a weak draw? Wouldnt the turn barrel then make more sense ?

Are you cbetting this flop? What are you doing if raised ?

Checking the river making him consider that u miss diamond flush and not have much on this hand
I think he has at least one pairs in this round

But I'm not sure call the river with this is a good choice
coz maybe he has a better pair or a better kicker than you
