Villain is a 27/18/20 on 11 hand sample so his stats are not so relevant. My question is if this is just a cooler or I can find a fold on the turn, or maybe I misplayed it somehow?

I think that's a fine way to play. Don't think you can get away on turn as played. Would like to hear some other people's opinion on flop action. Cbet, check/raise and check/call all seem viable options to me here.

Ofcourse it is just a cooler.

However i beleive you missplayed the hand onthe flop, although the result would have likely been the same, that does not matter, and we should be concerned with how we approacha similar spot in the future.

At this limit your opponents are not going to be overly agrressive and more onto the side of calling bets rather than putting bets in themselves, therefore checking top two here with a flush draw out there, Vs more than one opponent just makes no sense, as you cannot guarantee at all that they will bet for you, thus you may not get to check raise (which barely makes sense anyways). They are going to get to see a free turn way too often and a tonne of cards are bad for you in both respects, to killing your action and causing your hand to be outdrawn for free.

The other point being that when you check raise, you will be narrowing your opponents range to his stronger holdings that can continue, i.e. alot of his draws now fold and only very strong made hands and combo draws will continue. It is much better to just bet yourself and force your opponents to make unprofitably loose calls, whilst also widening there range.

Ok, thank you very much for your detailed response. Now I think if I just bet the flop , b/c the turn and c/c river would be the best play.

On the other side I have the J of diamonds so this blocks a lot of his FD's so theoretically I could do a somewhat nitty fold on the river

Probably just betting the flop. You give away a lot of info, without finding out a lot about your opponent's range. Also don't see enough hands to this with as a bluff.

Aa played, bet-call looks good. Flatting 44 in the HJ would be a decent sized mistake, and you block JJ. He could have the same hand, randomly spazz with AK, or maybe jam a FD.
