I am trying to make sense of the solver result on a hand here.

The played hand is:

PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players

BTN: 145.5 BB
SB: 116.5 BB
Hero (BB): 111 BB
UTG: 102.5 BB
MP: 402 BB
CO: 347 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♠ A♥

UTG raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 9.5 BB, UTG calls 6.5 BB

Flop: (19.5 BB, 2 players) J♥ 2♣ K♦
Hero bets 6.5 BB, UTG calls 6.5 BB

Turn: (32.5 BB, 2 players) A♦
Hero checks, UTG bets 16 BB, Hero calls 16 BB

River: (64.5 BB, 2 players) 4♥
Hero checks, UTG bets 70.5 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 70.5 BB

UTG shows T♥ 9♥ (High Card, Ace)
(Pre 40%, Flop 22%, Turn 9%)
Hero shows K♠ A♥ (Two Pair, Aces and Kings)
(Pre 60%, Flop 78%, Turn 91%)
Hero wins 198.5 BB

Now I have loaded this in the solver. I am trying to figure out the good play of Vilain going all in at the river.
The solver seems to indicate this could be a good all-in bluff only if T9 is suited in diamonds.
See below it is going all-in (pink) with Td9d. However for Th9h this is a check (give up).

Td9d All-in 99%
Th9h Check 96%

[Sorry no picture as I am not allowed yet - arf]

This seems a bit counter intuitive as having diamond blocks some of my missed flush draw which I am more likely to fold. So I would be more inclined not to bluff with diamonds contrary to what to the solver shows.

Would you have further analysis or explanations?

I have moved you're hand to our hand discussion forum. There fits it better I think.
I don't think solver is that usefull on NL2, but I never used it. I would normally bet for all streets with top 2 pair against a unknown on NL2 for value.
As played I would call villain down as well and I don't think villains bluff is really good. Especially on NL2 bluffing isn't the greatest way to make money.

Seems like a decent answer indeed. I can't think of to many hands hero would play that's a missed draw.
It's most of the time a decent hand after the 3bet. Board hits hero's range better than villains as well. Straight isn;t to likely in a 3bet pot.
