That donk/lead sizing on the turn pairing card feels kind of polarizing/weird to me. It looks like a cheap blocker bet to buy a river on a semi-connected board, but it could also easily be an inducement from a monster. How would you approach the river here?

Preflop
So you use the good old 3X open, which I think is fine at 10NL. I guess, we can say, you were targeting the fishy looking players on BTN and in SB with this sizing.

Flop
Good flop obviously, and the sizing is probably close to the theoretically "correct" one to use in a multiway pot. But if you want larger preflop as an exploit, then why not also do it now, when you have a very strong hand, and one of the fish called you?

Turn
A donk lead when the turn pair second card is actually not that weird. Its a situation, which tend to favour the out of position player, so they are "allowed" in theory to have a leading range here, which is trips or better for value and then some bluffs, if they are balanced. I dont think, this is "block" sizing, since its nearly half pot, so I would put him on a range of trips, which you of course lose to, and some flushdraws, which there are actually two of now. I think, this is a very easy call and then see, what happen on the river.

River
Now he overbet jam, and he is definitely never doing this with a worse hand for value, so your hand is a bluffcatcher. Which mean that basically you just need to ask yourself, if a fishy player is underbluffing or overbluffing, when they take this kind of line? And my answer is, that fish are mostly underbluffing with this line, although this guy does seem to be very active, so maybe he is one of the exceptions ("maniac").

All the draws busted, and you dont have a diamond, which mean, you unblock the frontdoor flushdraw, which he has more than the backdoor. So you could stick in a call here hoping to catch a bluff, but my main line would be to fold. Your hand is only slightly better now than having second pair, since any 9X beat you, and its a lot to put in 62BB with second pair.

Did you call, and if yes what was his hand?
