The good luck continues and i'm down 500 at 4/8 (Is this even f-ing...

Re: overplayed or just right?

Why is 3-betting the flop better than waiting till the turn to put another raise in?
True

Re: overplayed or just right?
Against this opponent, river is correct. I've gotten in the habit of three betting these flops though against LAGs. I think it works out a lot better if u play hands very fast.

Yeah, that's why i call the turn and not the river, it is very common from my experience for players to continue bluff on the turn but not the river. 7:1 is close in a blind steal/ def situation on a...

Re: Blind hand
I think the flop call is obvious. I would c/c a turn diamond, c/r a 10, and bet an ace. A blank, i tend to call and fold the river UI, but i'm not sure if this is correct.

Not that raising that river has +EV, but I think it has more EV than calling. I really don't like where we stand, but at least a raise would fold an ace high bluff.

Re: habitual donker
If he's a habitual donker, he sucks. If he sucks, he'll call with a 9. If he calls with a nine, you shouldn't raise. I would call here, but i think folding is close. I don't like raising.
