ugly payoff

[counterspell]

Villain is 35/25/3 over 200, but i think i need him to be laggier to pay off this hard. fold big blind to steal is 38%.

I think preflop the cap is marginal but OK, I'm not sure if you think this is for value or just to maintain initiative. On the turn I would prefer to see you bet and give yourself a chance to fold out some hands that beat you like PP's below 88 that don't contain a diamond. If you get checkraised then fold, if called check behind on river. I think as played you have to fold this river.

versus a LAG your PF CAP sucks. call the 3-bet and make your money postflop.

Your flop bet is a bluff. Your river call is optomistic beyond belief. If you are going to put another bet into this pot (which I don't recommend), I would bet the turn as a bluff [and you still win those rare times he has a hand like KJo with a diamond].

Thats one of the worst calls I've seen in a while

I don't pay it and don't think it's that close.

this is totally backwards dude. when he calls flop hes either showing down or has a diamond. if hes showing down betting is bad. if he just has a flush draw u would rather check and have him lead the river so u save a bet if its a diamond. betting turn also lets someone megaown u with a worse hand

if i bet the turn its only if i think he can fold a pair with a diamond on the river

oh wait 99 made a set
