Thought Process:
Spoiler:
PF - Standard open, nothing to really see here
F - Small cbet on very dry board. Only really worried about 66 - 88 and 1x combo of A4. Would not be folding to raises. Wanting some ace highs to call, and keep any other floats too
T - Honestly, not sure what hands I'm targeting here other than floats that check twice. Hard to get value from anything worse other than ace high diamond draws that floated flop? Sized slightly larger. Would like some advice if it's ever just a check back considering action so far.
R - BB donk leads after x/c flop and river. Typically a strong line, but they don't really rep much considering the board. What hand leads out? 9x, 6x, 4x combos? How many of those x/c flop and/or turn? To me, raising doesn't seem like it has much merit. What hands will call that are worse other than flushes? Do they still call a re-raise? This is why I settled on a call, and it feels like the right call but it feels so nitty to not re-raise a boat. Please let me know!

No hero folds vs 1/2p river bets.
Turn he peels with 2 overs. U can size up a bit on flop and turn.

I also think we can increase the sizing on the turn and river, something like 1/2-2/3 flop and 3/4 turn.

The river is close, but I wouldn't fold against a 1/2 pot bet from an unknown player.
