full 3/6 game, i get red AA in the BB...MP player raises, CO and button cold call, I 3-bet from BB, all call. Flop comes 9 10 Q all diamonds, i bet, guy behind raises, two calls, i 3 bet and he caps, one folds, one comes along. Turn brings a rag, i bet, he raises, button folds, and i call (?). River comes another rag, and i check/call...thoughts?

Reads would help.

With none I play the same

no real reads, only been at the table an orbit or so, but the main villian hasn't been outta line in that orbit at least...

Getting in lots of bets on the flop is good for you. I like the turn bet, as you may have the best hand, you have outs to improve to the near nuts, and you might force out a hand that has some live outs (e.g. 96, 86).

On the river, the pot is much too large to fold. You're probably losing to KJ or a flopped straight or a set or two pair, but you'll occassionally see AQ or KQ or QJ in this spot, especially if he has the K or J of diamonds. You'll see it enough to make the river call profitable.

Tough hand, but I think you played it well.

Preflop: good
Flop: I'd bet it too, altough i'm sure a case could be made for a C/R.
Turn: Seems standard to lead and call down considering the flop
River: there is no way i'm folding a pot this big for 1 bet without a better read, for 18 to 1 you don' have to be right very often.

I don't see myself leading at the turn.

I'm check / calling from the turn onwards in this hand.

I like the turn lead; a free diamond isn't going to hurt Hero, but there are straight draw possibilites galore on this board, and I'm not giving anyone a free draw at that. Hero has the best hand a pretty fair amount of the time, and even when he doesn't he's got live outs against anything his opponents may have. EDIT: except KJ or J8 diamonds, obviously.
