Pocket tens in a 3bet pot with one overcard on the flop

This was my thinking:

Preflop: Many players defend their blinds, pocket tens is too good to fold here, so it's either a call or a 4Bet

Flop: With only one over card on the flop it seems like a standard CBet, to know where I am in the pot I raise the hand, I still think there is a lot of his range here that's missed the flop. If OP has an over pair I expect him to shove after my raise with the flush draw on the board on most occasions.

Turn: The flop 3Bet could have been interpreted as a flush draw, so with the 3rd diamond I bet again to represent the flush and have to call the all in as I'm pot committed. If OP had the nut flush draw I would have expected him to shove after my 3Bet on the flop.

Am I over thinking this?

I cannot accept the reason for raising the flop- to know where I am... And where are we after him calling? And why than make turn bet?
I think it's totally wrong.

You're not repping the flush as this is 3 bet pre and a flush draw would just call.

Villains only decision is if you hit a set with JJ or are holding AKd. As its unlikely (AKd would go broke pre-flop) villain decides to call flop instead of push all in in order to keep you in the hand. He then checks expecting you to bet, as you fall for it its a easy shove.

Also we don't have to call on grounds of being pot commited if we are sure we are behind. Which on the turn we know we are. Waste of 40bb.

I would just call flop, fold turn if he bets again.

Hi flopraiser,

There are a couple of spots where your thinking may be a bit flawed.

Raising flop turns your made into a bluff and you are looking to take the pot down and get him to fold his equity. That's not always a bad idea but in a spot where most people because honest by the turn that's not needed.

Now, as played, you think that overpairs/big pairs shove the flop. So what's left to call you? Draws, and what else?

And guess what, draws got there on the turn.
