PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.02/$0.05 - 5 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $5.81 (116 bb)
CO (Hero): $5.06 (101 bb)
BU: $10.11 (202 bb)
SB: $5.28 (106 bb)
BB: $5.00 (100 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.07) Hero is CO with A A
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.15, BTN calls $0.15, 1 fold, BB calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.47) 9 6 3 (3 players)
BB bets $0.30, Hero calls $0.30, BU folds

Turn: ($1.07) Q (2 players)
BB bets $0.55, Hero calls $0.55

River: ($2.17) 9 (2 players)
BB bets $1.10, Hero calls $1.10


The villain is marked as fish. BB flats with a wide range. His donk bet multiway is suspicious but I hold the diamond and have over pair so I call on the flop.
Turn gives me flush draw, but potentially completes villains flush draw. If he has set it should slow him down. He bet around the half pot and I think my hand is too good to fold. The river is not the best and the villain bets again half pot. I would say only a half pot again. I think he would bet more with a full house. And as I call turn I don't think I can easily fold the river. if I didn't have a diamond in my hand, I'd play differently.
I think I played this hand ok, but what are your thoughts? Are there mistakes?

If I see correctly, you dont have overcards, but overpair of aces. If so, then it is raise/allin against wide range fish on BB.

You're right, I typed it wrong. Yes, overpair.

Really? So, am I too worried to shove into sets?
I think he is capable of playing this way his sets, draws, TP, two pairs.

You have to raise flop. Board brings a lot of draws - flushdraw, 3 x OESD, inifinite amount of gutshots.... I would raise and probably stackoff if he 3bets.

With the A♦: blocker I wouldn't mind the call against the donk bet on flop, but than you need to call villain down. You beat any 2 pair combo on the river. Off course top pair on the flop improved in to trips and that makes it a little bit a tricky spot.

I agree. I don't like calling, basically giving him control of the hand and on the river I am like wtf am I still ahead or am I behind, AA is now a bluff catcher.
