AK gutshot

Were all the calls post-flop as bad as they seem, and did I just get really lucky?

With all the preflop action, you have to assume your overcards are probably not good so you have 3.5 outs (the 3 non-diamond T plus a 0.5 for the diamond T). This means you need 14.4:1 to make the bet profitable. Assuming BB will call and raise or fold you are getting 14.5:1 on your bet. I think at best the flop call is very small positive and I will often fold. Even if I called the flop, I would fold the turn. You don't have odds and while it is unlikely, even the 10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif may not be good for you.
