Take this with a grain of salt, since I just posted a weak fold myself and am going to err on the other side now...

Looking at this I would have to say you're either WAY ahead or about 1:1.5 to win (if he's got, say AQ, you've got 9 diamonds and three kings, or if he's on TT, you've got 9 + 2 queens). I'd say you're way way ahead enough that you push, especially since you'll still have 700 left if you lose.

At first glance I thought you had the st8 and flush draw and wsa thinking maybe call. however, i think this is a fairly easy fold. I don't think it is a "terrible" call, but its not one I would make. Maintain your chip lead.

What was your read on him, if any?

Calling is out of the question. Push or fold based upon what you believe CO is likely to have limped in with.

What's CO been playing?
What does CO limp with in late position?
Has CO been this overly-aggressive on other hands, and if so with what?

you are right, calling is not what I meant to say. Title should say is Pushing terrible here.
