Hello. Would like some opinions on how to play this better, I definitely didn't play it right but wondered about the right way to play it, if to play it? Should it be a fold pre?
The villain is aggressive, hence the min bet. Tend to get action of a min bet.

the villain respects hero too much, why villain didn´t 3bet is a mistery here, actually just luck saved him to lose such a strong hand like pocket jacks against a spec hand like 43 (actually from hero´s position this hand is fold) ,

no matter the outcome, hero´s min bet at turn is hilarious and without any sense, you should checkraise here and the bet should be strong enough, obviously either way you were going to lose because the villain hit the full (very unlikely in this hand) if villain had held another pair like queens, aces or kings he would have paid anyway, actually with 2 overcards and draw flush villain would have paid too,

at the end was very bad luck, given this flop and then those two final cards to reverse the hand,

I probably would've folded pre against most opponents, but as it was played...

I think you need to re-raise the flop. Villain obviously has something or is drawing to something and you are missing out on value here. For example, there is a potential flush or better straight out there and you are letting them get free cards.

The turn is a bit of a mess. The min raise is pretty pointless and the re-raise should have him pot committed by this stage. He either has something he thinks is good or he doesn't, so you might as well get more chips in the pot while you still have the best hand.

The river is just unfortunate regardless of the play. That said, you should already have him all-in by this stage. The fact that you don't means you have to be worried about the paired board, so your final re-raise is also pointless.

Basically the action on the river should be happening one or two streets in advance. Don't wait until your hand is beat to get value. If you do slow play, expect to get away when the board changes.

That's a fold preflop. You flop good with low suited connectors like 34 and 45 once in a blue moon and you're crushed basically by any hand he could have. What would be your plan if you didn't flop the nuts or a decent draw? Float him on an Ace high flop and try to bluff him out, etc. Most likely you'd be folding if he c-bet strong or going to have to commit to a stone cold bluff.

As played, I think you should have gone for the checkraise rather than just check-calling, to something like 0.40c. Just in case he has Ak/AQ/AJ with the nut flush draw. Only calling there makes it harder to get stacks in by the river without making an overbet.

If he has the overpair, he's likely to 3-bet, at which point you'll know he has the overpair. You'd be representing a monster draw like a wheel ace with the nut flush draw, like A4 of diamonds, or maybe A6 of diamonds. Even though he's drawing nearly dead, I'd still opt to get the money in right there on the flop, because he'll want to shut out your draws. You want to commit as much of his stack as possible because there are so many bad turn cards that can come.

Bad turn cards being cards that scare him - like any Ace or a 3 or 4 putting 4 to a straight on the board, and a King/Queen/Jack (depending on what overpair he has) and/or a diamond.

He'll know this as well and will want to force the issue on the flop as well.

Perhaps avoiding to call these cards will save you more in the future, unless you have the absolute nuts. Without poker huds you might have problems folding postflop.

For me there's nothing you can do post flop because full house is really hidden and straight seems to be the best here unless you have a history of this villain.
