villain seems reasonably competent although is a bit loose and makes strange plays at times. seems to want to play pots against me and i have a slightly tilty image - he saw me lose a big chunk of my stack a couple of rounds ago...

thoughts on flop and river please....
on the river call vs r ? if we raise what kind of size? if we raise do we r/f?

3975/f

Just think flatting this river is too soft, we can get value off 2 pair and sets. And if he jams over our raise I'd be confident he has the nuts, or close to the nuts almost always.

mostly checking the flop vs him (ie bit loose and makes strange plays, etc) in this spot.
as played you rep KQ/JJ with a river raise, some diamonds as well,
his river 3brange should mostly be bladed so you can r/f basically any sizing you think he will call with his bluffcatchers.
i'd go for about 5k here.

stacks are not great by river...I guess I raise fold but I like a smaller raise 3775/ fold

Of course, smaller than 5k.
Furo is flying....

where do you think the difference in his r/c range is between a 4k and 5k raise.

No idea where exactly, but there def is a difference. I think some two pairs/sets he calls more often vs 4k than vs 5k (cause he has to be right more often). We also save 1k chips if he shoves and it makes our bluffs, should we ever bluff here, cheaper.
