Sat down at this table 30 min ago so don't have many reads on players. Villain does seem to be fishy because he's limp calling a decent amount.
OTTH 2/5 NL
Effective stack: 900
Preflop Hero UTG with A

Hero opens 20. My standard open with no limpers.
MP, BTN (Villain), BB all call
Flop (4 players) ($80): A
Q

BB checks.
Hero?
Hero checks. Sometimes raising here for sure but we block a lot of their calling range besides diamonds. And I think unless someone has a diamond draw, everyone's going to fold to a flop c bet.
Additionally, I need some strong hands in my check call range.
Checks to Villain on the BTN who bets 65
BB calls.
Hero?
Hero just flats.
With BTN's sizing, I'm squarely putting him on Ax or 33.
BB has a flush draw here a lot.
If I x/r here, it looks so nutted that I'm not sure we're ever getting worse to call. If I let a card roll off and it's not a diamond, we can probably play for stacks.
Turn (2 players) ($280): A

Great turn, shouldn't change anything. Sometimes it gives BTN a worse 2 pair.
Checks to BTN who bets 125.
BB folds.
