Dont hate how you played it really... Could be an argument for a raise on turn but early on id just call here mostly unless any early signs he's a loon... Was just a bad river lot of time you pick this up with v ace rag imo..

Id make it 120/130 flop personally but as played is fine for me early tbh....

I like to raise 5 or 6x pre at this blind level. It's just too small to get average hands in the blinds to fold. And yea 120-130 on flop. Pretty sure he hit flush on turn.

You played it fine imo. Sometimes I bet like 120 on the flop but 100 is fine. Turn/river are okay too.

I think it is very telling when the lack of position, your early aggression and flush cards don't slow your opponent down. I guess A9 with A diamonds.

Usually when a player switches from check call ,which he did twice, to lead out bet, it means his hand has improved and he is betting for value and/ or to protect his hand. Again A9 is possible in my mind . I would feel he has 2 pair that he may have flushed on river.
