fold pre flop, then on flop i say fold again. What can we beat? We can beat j,t q,j and a pp. But id imagine a pp would check behind on that turn if they checked flop. On an ace high board like that, you would expect a pre flop raises to cbet. So the fact that he hasnt implies that he has caught a monster, 2 pair or a set. So i fold fearing of those. I suppose he may have qq, but its too risky to call hoping for that

I would fold pre-flop unless you have a great read, otherwise we are way behind his range A9s+, KQs. But as the hand played out, I would definitely call the turn bet as you have a ton of outs, most of which are to the most likely best hand. To win a pot of 1140 you have to call a bet of 360 (1140 to 360 equals 3.17 to 1). You have 9 outs to the diamond flush, 2 kings give you a set, and 4 queens give you a straight. That's 15 outs for the river, which is 2.07 to 1. This is a winning proposition over the long run, call the turn bet. However I don't like the pre-flop call.

And I definitely don't like your all-in on the turn. ( I just read the rest of the hand)

Fold preflop - you're out of position with a terrible hand. If you want to get involved, 3-bet shove him. Actually I wouldn't even condone that since he's so committed and your KTs isn't usually in great shape. So fold - I think it should go fold>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>call/shove.

On the flop, as played, it should be a push, as in a stop n go. You have zero FE on the flop for a check-raise since villain is so committed, and are pretty much banking on your actual hand equity which is good, but not great, so go ahead and shove now hoping he's got a pair smaller than an ace, or some other better hand we can possibly push out.

Turn - think about his range. What raises preflop? (prob big cards/pairs, and occasionally bluffs) What checks that flop? (prob monsters, and weaker pairs like 77 etc) What's the best action against that range? (I'll let you answer that yourself ;)).

Also, don't post results please.

Yeah this is a bit of a trainwreck of a hand.

This is a simple shove/fold preflop. If you think you have fold equity, I don't mind shoving at all here, although I'd probably rather do it with a hand that is less easily dominated by villain's calling range.

As played you've left yourself in a truly horrid spot by going deep into a hand where you're OOP with a marginal holding.
