Was playing 76/59 no real post flop reads apart from seemed to be playing solid enough.

I make pre my 4bet a little bigger.
any donkbet reads? I call the flop bet but after the allin push on the turn I would fold without any special reads.

I think the preflop sizing is ok, and I think I call the flop nearly always as there's so much he could be stabbing with here. Probably folding turn and be very unhappy about it. Unless you know he likes to jam strong aces over a 4bet (which I think is a pretty reasonable line) then I think they are just large a part of his range for you to call here. Furthermore if he's competent then he must realise that you have an ace a lot here too and you're never folding an ace on this board making 2barrel bluffing pretty suicidal.

I called this down and won before. Depending on his PFR and your Cbet he has 6,7 two diamonds, 89, small pair or air. Standard. Preflop raise is too small.

i like smaller 4b with premium pairs, just to induce calls with more dominated hands (like KQ, KJ) which i expect to fold to 3x 4b
