i like

IMO the only questionable part is the river bet.

You can't protect on the flop, so nice call. Turn and river play themselves. Nice hand.

Raise pf? Other than that nice hand. And I like the river bet FWIW

I think it's quite closer than meets the eye.

Can someone explain why a river bet here is unfavorable?

It looks like villian, esp. 2/4 party poker villian, would call with a lower pair with a diamond, or a weaker nine- after all, he was in the BB- isn't that a good case for a v-bet?

I would raise preflop in certain games, not in others.

Flop/turn play is good.

River play is a bet and it's not close.

I agree - if villan has
a draw - folds
mid or bot pair on flop - fold / maybe sometimes call

flush - raise / call (depending on how hi and villan)
or
likes to bluff here - raises - will you call 2 now?

thin value here too many will fold worse and only call / raise better.

Nice hand. I'd raise PF if CO is a fish and the blinds are tight enough to make it likely you get heads up, otherwise I like a limp.

River is a thin value bet.

can someone explain why raising the flop is bad?
cus we can't protect and we have to dodge alot of overs?
