Party 3/6 or Party 5/10 (6 max)

Big Blind is Loose and Aggressive heads up.

Preflop: Hero is button with A /images/graemlins/club.gif, K /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Everyone folds to Hero, Hero raises, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.5 SB) 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, ??????

What is the standard/best line for the remainder of this hand? Would the answer change if I had AT instead or if the 9 on the flop were a diamond instead of a club?

BB would have to be very aggro for me to look him up. But the pot odds insist you at least see the turn.

I don't think two diamonds would change things a great deal if you don't hold one. It could make him more likely to pull a move on the flop without a pair, but if he is pulling the move with the diamond draw it also becomes far more likely that he will hold a better hand by the time all is said and done. I think with a big LAG I would be more willing to call down if the flop is completely ragged.
