Check, check
Turn (Th7dTd) 3d

No strong reads on BTN. Preflop: defend, 3-bet/fold, or fold?
What do I do now? If I flat call, should I c/f blank rivers?

I think I like 3bet/folding pre, although the flat is ok too due to your stack size at just over 20bb's, if you had between 25-30bbs I'd 3bet/fold for sure.
As played I think I'm folding the turn bet. There is a good chance that villain is FOS, but even if we hit a diamond it may not be good and/or we wont get enough chips because of board texture with 4 diamonds out.

Easy defend pre donīt know why we wanna 3bet/f this hand, and i will defend my most Kx, prob 3bet K2o or something.
I lean towards a lead ott (big sizing) and shove most rivers.
As played idk, i kinda wanna x/fold, but a x/r small (to like 35K) could be a good exploitation.

Reasonable hand to x/r turn, but we're covered by the BTN and ICM could get dicey. Not sure why you don't want to bluff lead turn and follow through on most rivers.
