SB: $166.30 (83.2 bb)
BB: $411.07 (205.5 bb)
CO: $393.03 (196.5 bb)
Hero (BTN): $221.95 (111 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with J♦: A♦: Q♥: T♥:
CO folds, Hero raises to $7, SB folds, BB calls $5

Flop: ($15) J♣: 9♦: 6♣: (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $9, BB calls $9

Turn: ($33) 3♦: (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: ($33) K♦: (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $30, BB folds

Villain is a decent reg. Not crazy agro but capable of making plays.
I briefly considered x/b flop since we don't love getting x/r but I think b/c this flop and folding turns unimproved is probably ok.

As played I was really unsure whether to bet turn or not. I'm not sure whether we can get value from much worse but on the other hand we now have oesd+top pair+nfd, so seems like obvious candidate for a bet. I think I'd somehow be happier barreling turn with a hand having less SDV, say A♦:T♦:Q♥:K♥: since if our opponent folds it's nice.

Is my reasoning ok?

As played, do you like the big riverbet (having x/b turn) or would you go smaller?
Thanks

Betting turn seems okay with so many outs for a straight or flush.
The rest of the hand seems standard, but I would most likely raise smaller on the BTN then pot size pre-flop

Just pot preflop. :)

Board is so draw heavy on the turn that I don't think opponent c-raises lightly with semibluffs. If he does, it's more of a made hand and you have nice equity to call. On the other hand your hand is a bit vulnerable, roughly 2/3 of the rivers doesn't improve your hand/completes Clubs. I would bet the turn instead of giving a free card to flush draws or pairs to make 2 pairs.

Super amazing turn, completes no SD and gives you nfd. I would absolutely bet here when you've tp blocking villains value range, there are still many draws out there to get value from / setup against with your nut draws. Not worst result either if villain gives up his share of equity against your bet..

It’s interesting to know why in a mid-stakes game pot raising on the BTN is better than making a smaller raise. I expect that makes PLO different than NLHE for example.

Raising smaller doesn't really achieve anything, as equities run so close and position is so powerful. The only downside is when blinds start to 3bet more. And if they do, it's easier to just adjust your own range.
