Default Hand against Private Joker

20-40 at the Commerce last month. Joker is immediately to my right. I have been playing pretty tight and he knows I am familiar with him through 2p2.
Joker chime in if I get any details wrong, the exact flop is particularly blurry in my memory.

Joker opens with a raise second to act, I 3-bet with red KK, bad asian player calls on the button, blinds fold, Joker caps, all call.

Flop- Nine high with two diamonds.
Joker bets, I raise, Asian overlay player folds, Joker calls.

Turn- Q of hearts
Joker bets, I pause briefly and call.

River- Another 9
Joker bets, I call.

Thoughts?

This is perfect. From what I've read about/by Joker he doesn't get wacky too often. You probably aren't even missing any value against TT/JJ (they don't even seem that likely here) because he should be able to fold those to a raise on the turn or river unless he thinks you are overly sneaky. You don't get pozzed by QQ/AA/99. I guess you miss a tiny bit of value against AdQd exactly. I'd say you could raise turn or river and fold to a threebet but "blah blah blah don't fold a big hand HU against a good player in a decent sized pot".

Well played. You are beat here so often I would consider a river fold but couldn't really do it. Some of these hands are pretty basic. He knows you raised this flop after his preflop cap and that you do so willing to be 3 bet. So he knows you have a legit hand. Then his turn donk means "sweet no diamond, lets give this aggro punk a chance to raise again so I can take him to 3-ville." I don't think AdQd is very likely at all given the action and that is about all you can beat. If he has TT or JJ which I very much doubt then you make more by calling since he will turbomuck to a raise anyway on the turn which you would hate since he has 2 outs. Maybe you can chop with the other KK.

If the game was being played with 4 other 2p2ers and everyone was going apeshit then things may play out differently. As is, you did good.

No, I just know private joker a bit. He has jacks here every time and maybe even AQs if he was feeling frisky. Aces 3 bets the flop and QQQ checkraises the turn, he is scared OP will take a free card and he might even be bet/folding the turn. (if that's the case hero shouldn't raise turn obv). Kings are worth one more bb here, probably raising the river.
