Am I ever playing this differently? I didn't give calling off my stack much of a thought. I was planning to check most turns, but picking up the diamond draw felt like a spot I should be betting? Or am I being too loose?

I like c/c better on turn so you can c/f when board pairs on the river since all you have is a monster draw. Can’t be terrible to gii (obv gii as played) but seems doubtful villain will fold any river anyway.

Also agree with amok in previous hand that always mashing pot isn’t necessary. You’re just letting variance control your winrate i/o your skill edge. Something like 2/3 pot on flop seems fine then check to control pot when turn bricks.

You can size smaller but raise pre, bet flip and bet turn are all standard

Xr turn is also reasonable, xc seems less attractive

I'd always open it pre. Flop+turn I'd always be betting a smaller sizing. I think c/c and c/r turn are simply worse than betting. By betting you are denying a lot of equity (any hand that folds had a lot of equity). I don't think people bet/fold a lot on that turn and with a perfect visibility this hand is not a good candidate for c/r. C/c makes some sense, but I think this hand is just too strong to be checked since you have a lot of equity against anything.

I see a lot of river cards where you get felted


check call turn, then decide on river?
