Pre flop is standard. I go a little bigger than normal as deep. Maybe could go even larger actually.

On the flop I bet to get calls from AK, AQ, AJ with a diamond, any overpair with a diamond, JJ and TT as well. Min raise sucks but too good a price to call as all those hands could also do this. Turn pairs which might slow down a flush so check to keep the pot smaller. River changes nothing so hoping to showdown vs missed draw. When he bets having checked turn I'm a bit lost on ranging. FH? Flush? I guess maybe but line seems a bit odd in a 3bet pot to min raise, and then check back turn.

Makes me think this is all the stuff I was targeting on the flop trying to steal (or even given my weak line betting JJ for value) and I should call this off.

BTN: $16.93 (VPIP: 28.14, PFR: 24.24, 3Bet Preflop: 14.81, Hands: 233)
SB: $10.60 (VPIP: 20.73, PFR: 17.07, 3Bet Preflop: 13.79, Hands: 82)

CO: $12.90 (VPIP: 23.58, PFR: 14.15, 3Bet Preflop: 6.38, Hands: 112)

I don't like cbeting on this flop. Even with Qd I prefer to check/call flop
As played I guess you have to call river. If you are good on the flop you should be good on the river too.

Not a fan of the cbet either much rather c-c, think I would just fold the flop in game OOP (call IP) once raised, hand is just going to be too hard to play to any further betting and too many turn cards will make us fold anyway.

River they either have a flush or are bluffing with AK etc. I probably call here and take note.

I agree. While cbetting this vs. confirmed recreational wouldn't be a bad play I'd rather check/call by default. As played I'm not too hot on calling the flop raise especially OOP.

Once we get to the river, given how the turn played out I can't really fold for the price.

The stack depth is what puts me off the c bet here. Especially being OOP If villain is so aggressive and 100bb deep I don't mind going with it in this spot, but not for 170bb.

Check calling the flop looks fine but it's not a great spot to be in.

As played I would fold the flop as a turn bet is highly likely. Once you get to the river I'm calling. I'd expect him to still bet his flushes in position most of the time.

X/calling sucks here. Think of all the free equity you are potentially giving with a check. There is no way that x/c can be the best play imo. Either small cbet or check/fold. Don't check/call.

It's a really straightforward fold vs the raise on a monotone texture regardless of the sizing. The flop bet is probably marginally +EV, but the bet/call is a mistake.
