1/2 live. 150 effective. Villain is average 1/2 rec player.
Hero opens to 8 from UTG with AQcc. Villain calls UTG1.
Flop: Q73 two diamonds. Hero bets 12 villain calls.
Turn: Qd. Hero checks. Villain bets 7 hero calls. I think it's hard to get value here unless he has the case queen I'm not getting called by much that I beat.
Villain says no more diamonds.
River Td. Hero checks. Villain bets 30 and hero folds.
He says he had trip queens and boated in the river.

Your open pre is a bit small. I guess if it went head's up it worked, but at my table you'd get 4-5 callers easy.
Flop bet is fine.
I barrel turn. When top card pairs V's sometimes discount the possibility that you turned trips and so I think you can get calls from his marginal hands that called flop, like 7x and pocket pairs JJ-88, plus getting called by the case queen. You also make him pay to draw to the fourth diamond.
River is a terrible call and easy check/fold.

Definitely open bigger pre from EP. Bet bigger flop. Turn you can easily get called by worse. Worse Qx pairs with a diamond or even just pairs. Don't freeze just cause three diamonds fell. Fourth diamond changes things. Good hand to check for SDV, fold it to a bet and bluff your air.

I think the no more diamonds was A verbal tell...trying to say I have a small flush and don't want to get out drawn when he most likely had the nut flush
Flush ... I tend to take verbal tells as opposites unless it's A woman they usually are being for real.
