Good Hero Fold?

Villain is a fish but I barely know anything about his game.

When he check/raised me on the flop I put him on a hand like T9, JT that ocasionally do this, a flush draw or a 5. Sometimes this can also be an slowplayed overpair as well.

Maybe is this a fold on the flop?

So I decided to call and revaluate turn if there wasn´t any diamond.

Then he checked turn, which led me to believe he had the flush draw instead and I decided to bet my T for value.

But then out of the sudden he check/raised me again and I felt so weird.

The few times I´ve done the double check/raise on my side it was SUPER strong.

So I thought this screamed a 5 and I decided after some consideration to hero fold this.

I thought any lower pocket pair would just call the bet since there was a T on the board.

So the question is, would a T reraise my bet on the turn or just called?

I thought it was the latter so I fold.

What do you think about the hand?

why do you bet for value if you think he has a FD? he can never call.
given that assumption, you should check or bet small to induce spaz.

Pre-flop seems like a loose open from UTG 5 handed. As played a half pot bet for value on turn is big enough. You don't need to protect your hand. If you bet so much you get only action of Tx or better. Now you need to fold on the check raise with in mind you splitting in best case here.

Is true tomaloc, I had to give him the chance to bluff river if he missed the draw and just check call. And I agree SDK, this bet size only gets action from T+ or better.

Villain x-r on flop is usually Tx, 5x, flush draws and occasional air. Versus that you split or draw dead versus value range and bluff part is unlikely to give action. So just check turn and see what happens on river.

If villain bet like half pot on river we can think of raise-folding on this river to get value from Tx

If he goes like pot or bigger call or even fold. I personally like to go huge versus unknown or recreational with quads (in sng/mtt) if I think there is high chance of them having good full house. Has seen so often people snapping even like 5+ times pot river bet/raise on some sort of 88A58 boards.

Think your read on the flop is correct, villain probably has 10x FD or possible a 5x.

So IMO the flop call is fine, as for the turn believe check would be best play, doing a bet for 85% of pot doesn't accomplish much, my guess would be the reason for your action is that you wanted to take down the pot right then, possibly worried about to over cards/ you said FD? as stated above with that bet you can only see a chop or a 5 at this point. check just makes your life easier.

Many may not agree with it but i do think in the end i call the raise, if he has the A5 i am playing him off.
