    Agree about preflop. As played I'd call and see what he does on the river. If small again I'd call again.

    However, it is reasonable to fold here because: You called the cbet on the A high flop indicating you could very well have an ace. But he's still betting so if he's a thinking player he should have an ace here and of course the J counterfeits one of the aces you beat.

    However folding here definitely reveals preflop as a mistake because you got a good flop for your hand and still aren't happy. If you think preflop is OK then call here and call reasonable bets on safe rivers. Personally I think either way is fine but of course folding preflop or here ott is easier to play which is worth something.

    PS I don't think calling here is stationy at all. It's really the only play besides folding. I would not raise here because I doubt you fold better hands and he would be pot committed on the river.

    Not too worried on the flop, it's more that the turn sucks so bad for me - if we've both got an ace, I was either behind AK, ahead of AJ which is now ahead, or chopping with AQ which a nit might not bet this turn with anyway.

    I didn't really think of it as a drawy board at the time, but now Griffey points it out, a few draws are certainly possible.

    Since Ad is blocked, I'm still not sure whether there's a case for raising turn to jam diamond rivers.
