With his raise on turn i can see him having two pair, draws or made draws, Ax or two pair with Ax.
The thing is that he will not raise with that stuff 100% so i'm not sure if with his half pot bet we getting the odds we need

why did you choose to not CBET this flop?

CB that flop, you don't need to go into pot control mode yet.

He isn't min-checkraising that turn with anything you beat. I mean maybe, just maybe he's getting tricky with a worse Ace or a diamond but that's a tiny portion of his range there. And you have zero outs to anything that could beat what's already beating you. It's one of those spots that's hard to fold because you just hit your TP but you have to accept the reality of the situation and fold to the check-raise.

Check flop is fine, b/f flop is also fine. folding to the turn raise now.

My instincts are telling me that vill either flopped or turned a strong hand (2P+) but knew the turn was a good card for us and therefore checked again to us on the turn expecting us to firing.

I like your line of calling OTT and folding OTR

since most people asked, i checked cause his bb calling range will hit this pretty often and i dont think ill be able to barrel him of later easily

I tend to end up calling this kind of raise because it feels so exploitable to fold but I think this is a leak - we are basically never ahead of a standard V
