SB: $10.55 (211 bb)
Hero (BB): $7.21 (144.2 bb)
UTG: $5.24 (104.8 bb)
MP: $3.46 (69.2 bb)
CO: $14.13 (282.6 bb)
BTN: $5.55 (111 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♦: 9♠:
2 folds, CO raises to $0.12, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.07

I think A9o is a close defend on the BB but ok still

Flop: ($0.26) T♠: 9♣: A♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.15, Hero raises to $0.43, CO calls $0.28

I decided to go for value and protection with a x/r as villain can have tons of draws here

Turn: ($1.12) 7♣: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.71, CO calls $0.71

Flush arrives but I think we should still go for value here?
Or shall we be careful right away just because one theoretical draw arrived?

River: ($2.54) 2♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $3.16, CO raises to $12.87, Hero calls $2.79 and is all-in

I decided to go for max value here as I feld I get called by worse Ax and worse 2pair anyway. Vs shove I feel like I'm beat but I'm committed already..

Results:

Spoiler

$14.44 pot ($0.60 rake)
Final Board: T♠: 9♣: A♣: 7♣: 2♥:
Hero showed A♦: 9♠: and lost (-$7.21 net)
CO showed T♣: Q♣: and won $13.84 ($6.63 net)

Preflop should be clear defence. Flop would be fine to raise bit bigger but on turn I would go with half pot and river start to be on thin side. If you bet river sizing should be smallish like 1.2 or so. If you don't have good calling machine reads it's going to be tough to get value with over pot size bet and once he raises opponent has flush next to always so fold.

It's kind of funny that you question turn bet for value and then go huge on river.

That's far too aggressive once the flush arrives. It's a far ahead / far behind situation (probably), so size the bets down and fold to aggression.

I agree with your Flop raise amount. If there was more in the pot, I may have shoved. For instance, if I could win 15 BB with a Flop All In Raise/Fold, I would shove. But, an All In Raise/Fold only earns about 6 BB. When the club hit the Turn, I would give up on this hand. I like your 14 BB Turn bet in hopes of a fold. But after 14 BB call, I would read that I had lost to a Flush and would Check/Fold the river.

Nice until river. I would check there and call small bet (giving him space to do something silly with TP) or fold vs big bet.
