villain is a kinda mehhh TAG from what Ive seen. no stats at the time but definitely overdefends his blinds vs. steals as hes turning up with like KTo vs a solid CO open.

he's been sitting on my right for a few orbits but havent really gotten into much with him, seems alright. kinda just avoiding each other for the most part and stacking fish.

thoughts on just calling the flop as opposed to 3betting? we're semi-deep, so not sure how much that effects things. I thought the flop was standard, but my friend wants to 3bet so thought I'd post it for discussion. turn call is kinda close right? getting like 2.5 to 1, I need to make another hundo or so on the river if I hit my flush which I think is likely even though my hand is kinda face up.

You did notice that you also made TP on the turn, didn't you? So with that read, the option would not be folding but pushing imo..

[RocktheCasbah]

either CRAI or shove this turn. TPTK + NFD what more could you want?

[Suigin406]

shove turn

edit: dumb, didn't see stacks

what are we doing on a blank river??

[Nick Royale]

You've played this perfect. Shoving the turn is terrible given stacks imo. What's the river?

yea, to you guys that wanna shove the turn... what worse hand is calling?

fwiw, I totally tanked on the river cause I had a couple of tough decisions on multiple tables and literally used all but 2 secs on a 30 second time bank before calling. my plan originally was to call turn/fold a blank river. possibly calling if its a Queen or an Ace depending, but of course it blanks.

now heres the weird part. before acting on the river, villain times down the 15 seconds... then requests time... and then uses up like 8 secs of his time bank before shoving.

wow shoving the turn sucks here. I also don't really love a flop three bet.

If you folded the river, you played it perfectly. The harder question here is what to do if an A comes on the river with the same action. Also, if board pairs with a 3rd diamond then you would have a much closer situation.
