MP2 is unknown.
BB is a TAG.

I felt like a deer in headlights on this flop. Thought for about 10 seconds and dumped it. What do you think?

Tough spot. If BB just has, say, the naked K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, you wouldn't think he'd want to drive you out. Something like a medium flush or maybe even a set seems more likely to me, though I guess he could also have top pair, maybe with a diamond kicker.

In the heat of the hand, I'd probably call and see what the turn brought, partly because I'm not at all convinced I'm behind MP2. But I think the fold is okay.
