    My play here might depend on how quickly he called Turn. Generically speaking, I'd probably check-call River.

    I'm in the bet turn slightly larger and shove river camp. It seems unlikely that he thinks you have enough hands you'll fold + your hand is too strong to check/call.

    I think Villain played this hand very strange. His button open range should be huge here. The way it was played, I would take sets and straights out of his range unless he has exactly aj or j9 of diamonds. Considering his jam, what is he repping here? I would have to call because his story doesn't make sense.

    Yeah noted - flop c/r should be a little larger too looking at the hand again.

    I assume you like the shove river as he wont bet a lot at these stakes when i check and may make a hero call? Plus we have some bricked combo draws here quite a bit in our range?

    I think you are up against a set, and he does not put you on a flush due to your action on the flop. Did you call? Do you know his hand?

    Flop sizing is good, turn sizing is too small as already pointed out and river is a clear jam. Checking river probably has some value if we have reliable reads, but we normally just allow villain to check back their showdown value against our range of top two, JT and missed diamonds.

    Call as played - only AJcc seems the likely flush and AJdd should be the only straight in there (and that's only if he doesn't gii on flop). KQ chop seems likely, along with some busted draws and a number of pair plus busted draw hands that are being turned into bad bluffs. Sets seem unlikely too given texture and flop action, plus we have blockers.

    Anybody 3bet pre? Sb seems mandatory 3bet but bb a lot closer?

    Bet turn bigger, shove most rivers including this one.
