Another hand:
SB is a bad player saw him calling a shove when he was UTG vs. BTN (5bet shove) with KJs just a few minutes before this hand

Pre
open is standard i guess
i call because i hoped CO will call as well, otherwise i would have folded pre

Flop
I call because he is a bad player and conti bet is quite standard

Turn
Really tricky, because flush is possible and board paired, so maybe he could have a boat, maybe he has nothing.
After he checked, i wanted to take the pot down with my bet
i thought my timebank ticking down what his raise could be for a hand...
i gave him some bluffs and some values and decided to call

O.K. play?
or total trash and better fold pre? (or later on)

Some comments would be nice

Thanks

You will see these bad preflop 5bet calls even from quite decent regulars on NL10 so I wouldnt give that much trust to these reads. On the flop you have an easy fold, this is a good board for a 3betting range and you only have a 3rd pair. As played turn I would still just check behind

I'm also a bit unsure about that flop call. You did setmine preflop and when you don't hit it is ok to just fold. OTT checking behind would be decent option. If you decide to take a stab I think you can do it smaller. If he is going fold, then he is going to fold vs a smaller bet also. If this guy is a recreational and happens to have a draw, I doubt you have much better fold equity with a bigger bet.
His check raise there is probably more strong than weak. Some recreational players tend to check their strong hands when they hit OTT.

I think the preflop call is okay. On the flop though, there are 2 higher cards than yours, and a flush draw, plus you got 3bet preflop, so I think on the flop it is a fold.

It's very clear fold OTF for me. It's a nice board for him and awful for you, not even one clear out. On the turn I don't think you'll get many folds and you're obviously commiting yourself, so check and check/fold river.
