Villain is 54/24/3 over only 62 hands. I have not played a pot with him up until this point. I have been raising in late position very liberally (probably at like 25/20/3) and following most up with continuation bets.

Hard to say...a villain that loose could easily have a worse ten here and donks just love to slowplay their trips reguardless of board. It'd be hard for him to put you on a ten here because you raised preflop. You could easily be up against a flush/77/55 too. I think if you had the Ad, this would be an easy push...without it, it's marginal.

Next time, I'd bet more on the flop. You're just about pricing him in with the $7 bot.

(He's calling $7 into $19).

I'm not sure what I do here. I'd probably fold it, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a weaker ten protecting againt the flush draw.

- Bet pot on the flop. Flush draws suck because they get there so often. Price him out.

- He called. Turn puts a bad card on the board. I check along.

- If the river doesn't give me a boat and doesn't put another diamond up there, I'd go ahead and call almost any bet except an all-in. If he checks I'd go ahead and make a value bet.

Poor analysis. Its all in or fold at this point. This is a very tough spot, but I think I can find a fold here.

Bet 8-12 on the flop.

As for turn, checking behind here is no good. You check when you have outs to boat, hero doesnt really. You bet when you are drawing slim.

I might fold here and hate it, but if I play along I push. Looks like a donk with a flush to me.

- All-in or fold the flop? Then you go on to recommend betting 2/3rd the pot? Maybe you should follow your own advice, when giving advice.

- Bet when you're drawing slim? The reason for this would be, what? Losing money? If you suspect you're beat, you don't bet into a losing situation, especially when the chances of being raised are high. Give yourself a FREE CARD. Hit that 10% miracle, take the opponents stack.

- So you're pretty sure he has a flush, and your advice is to push? Once again you're giving money away with the possible worst hand.
