Overpair on a dangerous board, I do bad?

[Damani311]

This hand is pretty simple....probably my fifth/sixth at the table, so readless...I was excited until he called the turn bet after the king showed up, and then i pretty much went into "hand over" mode.

So this officially ends my run at poker for now, just because after three years of constant reading and practice i still suck, and the main problem is my incessant battle with winning $2-3 pots and then losing it all back and more in situations like this.

Incessant

I kid you not.

Thanks in advance for your replies, I won't trouble you guys anymore.

bet bigger on the flop. villain probably has a big diamond which didn't hit. however. could easily have AK with a d, so you're beat. TT with a d, also a possibility and it made it on the river. maybe villain setted up. the only hands that take this line with you ahead are AdQ/J and maybe JJ. i think that you could either fold or call that river. others will prolly give better advice.

I probably call the river and hope to see AdJc or something, but the board does now suck for your hand, and I certainly wouldn't expect to get rich on my river call, on average. It seems close to me.

In any event, I didn't add much. I think rothko summed up Villain's hand possibilities pretty well.
