Just looking for a line check. I feel like I could've put in a good size raise on the flow to narrow his range. I only had ~35 sample hands on villain, so I didn't have anything to suggest villain would be way out of line very often. With the Td OTT, I just didn't feel I could beat much of villain's range and he/she is holding AK/AA most of the time.

Keen to hear where I could be wrong.

Thanks.

You could 3bet pre to isolate.

Calling the 3bet pre is fine, but puts us in a though spot if we hit TP on the flop.
I don't hate folding to the 3bet pre here.

This is a though flop for us.
We are very likely to be ahaid, but there's a real possibility villain has a better kicker.
He's betting slightly more than half the pot so I'm inclined to call here, unless he has a low cbet percentage.

I'm definetely folding this turn, unless we have reason te believe villain is bluffing too much here.
We pretty much no longer beat anything.
AQ, AJ, QQ, JJ are not double barreling.
AA, KK, AK, KQ, TT, 99, QJ or any two diamonds have us beat.

This is the full ring forum but the above is faulty thinking. The only thing a raise would accomplish is to fold out the hands that you're ahead of that could otherwise potentially spew off more to you on later streets. The only time a raise would be profitable is if you think villain is never letting go of something like QQ, JJ, 1010 or K-x with a lower kicker

I think you played the hand ok but I'm a full ring nit so I could be way off
