looks like AKo or high pair (no diamond) to me...i think your play on the flop and turn looks as if you are trying to protect your hand against a draw...

(looking forward to other comments, and op analysis)

there's no way to 'protect' ur top pair against a draw here. the pot's just too big.

might help if you tell us what position you're in and how many handed...

I'm not convinced Bob is cold four-betting any of those preflop.

that was my thought originally.. but i wasn't sure on mp3's possible isolation PF raise, as well as bob's thoughts on that possibility, esp since it looks like utg would probably see the flop no matter how many bets to him.

KQs- no cap with only 5-6 players with an 'out of mind' old asian dude, with an avg 6-12 live player?

QJ of diamonds, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was KQ of diamonds.

You wouldn't call 3 cold PF with 22, or 66, and you wouldn't just call on the river with quad fours. But you'd four bet PF with QJs. (I'd have guessed KQ of diamonds, but you just called on the flop, and probably not because you feared someone holding 5d3d with all that preflop action.)
QdJd makes sense given your just calling on the river when the board pairs up.

AKd should not raise this turn (but rather capped the flop). Ako should raise it and fold to a 3 bet.
