nice hand.

Raise more preflop, I would add one extra BB. Flop is ok but turn isn't. I would call the turn, folding is too weak. Anyone raising it ?

He's probably not going crazy with J-x, a turned flush draw, TT, 99, or 89. Readless I'd assume villain is reraising QQ preflop, so I don't think it's too likely in this spot. Most players at 50NL aren't capable of floating with AXd or other diamonds and semibluffing the turn with a flush draw. I feel like we're beat here more often than not by a set (88, 77, 66, maybe JJ) or a turned straight. I think a fold is correct here, but I don't know if I would be able to do it in the heat of the moment. More than likely I'm calling and evaluating the river.

your shown sets to often here. i raise 4bb pf fwiw...

[PLAYOFFS]

Raise more pf, good fold. You have to fold or reraise this turn.

This leaves us with less than half of a PSB on the river and most cards are going to be blanks here. We have to make our decision on the turn.

Fold is the right line. You see a set, 2 pr, or straight a lot here. The flop was pretty dry with the exception of a small straight.

Knowing your villains' fold to cbet is helpful in this spot. If they are like 75% and they call, then they have at least something.

Unless you have stats/reads that suggest the villain isn't straightforward, good laydown.
