Hero tight winning image.Stack 450€
Villain ~60year old reg on the tighter side but not nitty. When he raises pre he plays his hands really aggressive. Also overplays hands. Stack 350€

15 minutes before this hand he tank folded against me when i moved in otr. After the hand he was kinda angry because he thought i was bluffing although i had it.

Villain raises 10€ in hj, co and btn call, hero calls in bb with T9

Flop (41€) A92
Checks around

Turn (41€) A92T
Hero leads 32€, villain raises to 80€, co and btn fold, hero calls.

River (201€) A92T6
Hero checks, villain 120€, hero?

I think you have to call off here. An ace probably bets the flop and he has like 3 flush combos (given your read) and he probably bets those at least some amount of the time on the flop. I call and expect to see like KdQx or QdJx a bunch. You only need to be right ~27% of the time and your hand is pretty under-repped. He could be trying to get you to fold a naked A or T.

I prefer a turn check. As played I think call is fine. I check fold the river.

I disagree with Spy about checking turn unless we give our opponents a pretty significant bluffing frequency. We should have the best hand here very often. A lot of his diamond draws continue on flop, we can get value from hands with a diamond, some straight draws, and some pairs. We will be OOP on a dynamic board which makes things tough so I don’t think a check with a solid bluff catcher is terrible but I prefer a bet.

You really don't beat any of his value hands that can take this line, so you have a bluff catcher. You say when he raises pre he plays his hands aggressively, but then checked the flop in a standard c-bet spot. His line is repping a slowplayed monster or a turned diamond draw.

On one hand you do block a couple sets he could have, but I think I would probably rather bluff catch with something like an ace with a diamond here. Calling the turn is maybe OK because he could give up on a bluff it bricks out, plus you have 4ish outs, but I'm definitely folding this river. You're not getting exploited because you have tons of flushes, sets, and straights in your range here.

Although i block TT, 99 i thought he would cbet 99, TT, AA, AT. He wouldnt raise 22 or A9 pre. The only diamond hands he can have are KQdd, KJdd, QJdd and i think he would cbet them. On the turn i thought he could play KK or KQ, KJ, QJ with a diamond like that. The line confused me a lot

This makes it even more of a call. Against a tricky opponent I can find a fold here, but if this game plays fast and aggressive, the only hands that make sense are ones that improved on the turn but weren't good enough to cbet flop. That's hands with a big diamond and pretty much exactly TT (unless you think he has T9, which it doesn't sound like is likely). You're ahead of everything in that range except the case TT otr. I'm guessing you lost because you're posting, but given reads / description, this should be a call (and update your reads going forward).
