Hi,
Villan is tight with supernova status (I think that's what the 4 silver stars mean) didn't really play many hands but he did call raises and fold on Broadway flops.

my question is , is this standrad or should I have gotten away from this.
I could put him on JT AK AT AJ AQ KK JJ so I beat alot of his range.
I was play TAG but not sure if he noticed since we didn't play that many hands.

Bet every street for value. Never ever fold - your hand is like the nuts on this board.

Yes I would bet the flop and bet/3-bet shove the turn. You ran into a set (standard cooler) but you also let draws play for cheap by checking the flop and betting small on the turn. As played, I like a larger turn bet (maybe $5-$6). River I don't mind a check to induce a bluff on a missed draw if you think the villain will do so (diamond draws are definitely in his range here) but value bet is good too. Of course call AI to a river raise.

thanks. just wanted to know if there's any way I could fold this.

Agreed, don't fold that. But not posting his 22 might get some better answers in the future.
I'm not sure if I agreed with the check after flop, in most positions I'd value bet and swoop in with re-raise.

I agree with you sir I usually play these kind of hand very aggressively. I was frustrated from not getting action on previous hands if memory serves me correctly and thought to experiment with a bit of slow play with such a dry board. I was sure I am value betting until the reraise

lead the flop, get it in as soon as possible. with monster hands like that, you need to bet then out to get stacks in.

top 2 vs. set is just a cooler, not really anything you can do.
