Villain is 11/2/2. He has been extemely inactive this session. I put him on 99-QQ + AK based on his limp-call pre-flop.

Looks ok to me. I might have raised the flop to $10 to try and discourage flush draws more.
Once the Jd came on the turn, it's too bad that villian only bet $5. I think you're way behind just about anything he'd limp/call your flop raise with. He may have already had a set, a straight draw got there with the J, a flush draw got there with the diamond, JJ just hit a set, etc. For only $5 on the turn, however, I can't see myself folding either. The bad part about the $5 call, however, is that if he has the nut flush, and you call the turn only to river a low diamond, are you going to stack off with a K-high flush? This is a dangerous situation. At the river, folding to the $15 bet is probably best. I'd like to say that folding to the turn $5 bet would be better against this villain because he clearly has SOMETHING better than KK, and drawing to the non-nut flush might be a disaster for you. That being said, I think I would have probably played this like you did anyway. |

I think he folds AQd pre-flop, and if he doesn't, I think this opponent check/calls a big draw rather than potting it. |

Raise more pre-flop. Raise more on the flop. Raise more on the turn. Fold to re-raise.

I raised 4xBB +1 BB for the limper. You're probably right about the flop, but what's the reasoning behind it? I think that turn advice is awful. Look at the stack sizes. If my turn raise wasn't a push, I'd be extremely comitted. I think I'm way behind here. |

Just some basic advice but I think you need to make it a bit more pre-flop.
If you're calling villian a nit, yet you think he's going to full pot his flush draw into the PF raiser(??), then you need to make him pay for his draw and at least give him improper odds to call your raise. As played, you need to raise turn to 15, you are still not entirely commited to this pot as barely 1/2 and you can fold to a push, but the $5 bet could mean he's scared of the diamond, or he wants you to come over the top. Yet if you're going to call $5 on the turn, then you better make up your mind to call a river bet then and there because when a brick falls, if you're just folding then you're chip spewing. |

Heh, you misred something along the way. I'm calling that turn with what I think is a live diamond draw because I dont think he is capable of potting the flop on a draw.
When I called the turn I was pretty sure I was behind to a set of tens, but 4-1 + implied odds felt good enough at the time to draw to a king or non-board pairing diamond. |

Your getting 2.8:1 on a river call here, I don't think I pass up those odds with on the river, given your read pre-flop you lose to 1 hand outta 4. Why not call?
Your flop raise is pratically min-raise, I see it as a rather post oak bluffish type move. |

[/ QUOTE ] I guess next time I'll make sure to consult my mind reading device before posting. All my advice still stands. If you want to assume that villian has TT, then just fold the flop. Why are you continuing. His range could be higher here. |

Based on your hand range you have to call.
