I don't really like smooth-calling with Aces here with over 100BB each.

His range is pretty wide although I think most likely is pair+diamond. I don't think you can formulate any plan that involves folding on the turn because he may play aggressively with hands that you beat. So, I would bet about 4.5k, laying him a little worse than 2:1. Going broke to this type of board is the risk you take by smoothcalling.

I defintly re-raise here a lot, i just think smoothcalling is god from time to time because it forces him to pay off big river bets with top pair type hands more because i didn
't re-raise preflop. The major problem is of course as you said, his range is fairly wide here and there isnt really away to get away from my hand when behind.

heads up, I think just calling is fine especially since you say that he folds too much. I think trapping wiht AA or KK heads up is a good play. I bet pot on turn.

This is a curious hand.

Turn is a low offsuit brick.

What constitutes a brick here?

If he's solid and not on tilt, what can he call your flop raise with?

I'm a moran, don't play this high, and suck at NL. But what worse hands is he willing to go broke with?

KK, QQ, JJ (either with or without diamonds)
AdKx, AxKd, AdTx, AT(s), and maybe a bunch of others...

Then on the theory he has one of those hands (or a better one), push. You win plenty that way. Easy game.
