No clear read on vilain yet but he seems decent.

I couldnt resist betting the flop and the turn because TPTK is the nuts heads up, ldo.
I shoved over his raise because I thought he had a pair+draw or combodraw a lot (or maybe I did not think that much, but I couldnt find the fold button at this point)

What do you think?

I hate it when they checkraise turn vs my TP2K or better instead of flop. Here, I think you're beat to be honest; I don't think he's doing this with - say - JdTs.

Would you fold to his turn raise, or call and hope for a cheap river?

I would have bet flop and turn bigger but otherwise would have played same. I think he could easily do this with a strong draw. I don't want to call and give him a free card on that board and feel like he'll likely call a shove with the draw.

Maybe I'm spewing, hah.

pot flop and turn, folding to raise without a diamond.

I don't understand why villain would raise a Flush draw on this turn but not on the flop, which is why I think the range for that turn check raise is heavily favoring hands better than top pair.

I agree with folding for once. You can't really be good here against any villain that "seems decent."
