SB: $25.76 (103 bb)
BB: $18.55 (74.2 bb)
CO: $23.67 (94.7 bb)
Hero (BTN): $25 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K♦: K♥:
CO raises to $0.75, Hero raises to $2.60, 2 folds, CO calls $1.85

Flop: ($5.55) T♦: 3♠: 8♦: (2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $3.14, CO calls $3.14

Turn: ($11.83) 8♥: (2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $19.26 and is all-in, CO folds

Results: $11.83 pot ($0.68 rake)
Final Board: T♦: 3♠: 8♦: 8♥:
CO mucked and lost (-$5.74 net)
Hero mucked K♦: K♥: and won $11.15 ($5.41 net)

Villain is 37/16. Weaker player but not a total fish. Not a big sample on him so no more info on how he acts in 3BP.

What should my plan be in this hand? This board texture hits the caller better than 3bettor. He can have TT, 88, T8s. On the other hand he has lot of Tx and draws.

I think betting bigger on the flop to make it around potsize bet shove OTT is a good plan. Biggest mistake in this case would be to play the hand for 3 streets and let him realize his equity with draws.

Should I be affraid of 8 OTT? He has some 8x in his range 89s,78s,A8s but it is still a profitable shove.
How should I play if a diamond comes OTT?

I don't get it. You have Kd and you don't block backdoor FD. You don't need to bet big. 30% pot is good, it's a board you want to cbet with almost your entire range.

Not sure I like the over bet shove on the turn. I would $6 and shove on a blank river card.

Yeah I dont like that overbet jam OTT either. It is mental leak I guess. I panic that he could have a FD and hit OTR so I decide to jam so I do not have to fold the river in case diamond hits. Stupid thinking I know

If I bet smaller OTT and he jams - am I committed or can I fold?
If I bet smaller OTT he calls - should I give up on any diamond OTR?
