    Default AA played poorly?

    I didn't anticipate the BB making this call. I tried to get cute preflop and just call to trap the initial raiser. His bet is either seeking a cheap turn so he can draw or he has a set. A set seems very unlikely since he bet so little into two players with a draw heavy board. No read, he sat down one orbit before.

    Easy fold?

    I think it's an easy fold. Diamonds got there, all SC hands either have a straight/2pair/pair+draw. I'm sure you know it's much better to get tricky with position, it makes this situation much easier.

    I like to re-raise and trap the PFR for his stack instead of trying to get a bet by buildng a pot OOP.

    Preflop is fine. You should re-raise most of the time but it's OK to mix it up sometimes as long as you can play it well postflop which you did IMO.

    How would our opponent play TT? JJ? QQ? Etc. Are we beat here? There is a good chance of it, but I dont think that this is that easy of a fold. Do you have any reads at all? Not many players will call a pot sized c/r with a draw. Against most players that I play against I lead the turn for $20ish and will get AI here. Maybe this is a leak, I dunno, but I just think c/fing the turn is too weak/tight.
