Hero bets 45 BB, BTN calls 35.5 BB and is all-in

Spoiler

Hero shows A♦ J♥ (Straight, Ace High)
(Pre 59%, Flop 83%, Turn 91%)

BTN wins 126 BB

Any help is really appreciated, thanks!

Due to your diamond ace, villain wont be holding a flush most of time.
On the river you should always think if I check here and opponent goes allin would I call?
If yes, go all in yourself, as you did. If no you should probably check/fold here.
IMHO your allin is the right play as there are many hand weaker than your straight in opponents range (trips kings, two pair, lower straight). Compared to the remaining stack of the button, the pot is to big to let this hand go.

Against most likely a weaker player based on his short stack I would play this hand the same. If he has a flush or full house it's to bad I think, but I expect you miss value if you check the river.

This +1.
On the flop definitely you are cbeting. My plan is to put him all-in on the river and make him commited to the pot by then.
Turn, a blank card, you just bet again.
River, well thay K is not a good card for us, but if he had 2 pairs (with Kx) or a set form the flop he should protect his hand - I give him some credit that he won't protect since the short stack suggests he is a fish and you never know what's inside their heads. But still I am shoving here since he will easily call with Kx or QT.

EDIT: After checking the spoiler - unlucky, but I still believe the hand is well played.
Please do not post results next time :)
