Firstly I think you should of been more aggressive pre and or on the flop. It takes you away from being in a tough position on the river. His range is so huge with it being folded to him on the button. Also I think your going to make a lot more profit by re raising. Even if you flat pre and see the flop then Check raise. Do you have any reads on the Villian. Does he have double barrell with ace high in him? Then gets there on the river.
I just think you should if found out where abouts you were earlier in the hand to save yourself from being in these tough decisions

Thanks guys, coming from a SNG background, 34bb seems like the nuts to me, though it really isn't I really didn't want to get in 34bb pre with 10 10 when I really feel I can work the stack. In this situation I just went with my gut and c/c him down, and he ended up showing Q8. My thinking was different. I was wondering what he could be representing. Ace 3/Ace 4? Wouldn't the 3rd diamond slow him down a tiny bit? A Jack? Wouldn't the ace slow him down? An ace? Would he really two barrel an ace rag sort of hand? I wasn't all too worried about the flush because it came runner runner, though he could have bet when he picked up equity on the turn, which is what I would have done. I think this narrows his range down to a flush, JJ, AA, or nothing really. In this situation I thought it was more likely he had nothing so I called.

Interesting to see your thought processes though, thanks.
