I should write a book. Bet more on the turn? Fold to the reraise? I was pretty confused by his turn push, since I was pretty certain that he was on the flush draw (of course, there was the chance he was slowplaying a made flush). Any help on how to play this one?

Preflop: Hero is BB with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.

The only thing I would change is betting a little more on the flop to make him pay to see a card if he's holding a high flush draw. At the end of the hand I think you're hand is good., but i'm guessing you lost this one /images/graemlins/frown.gif

What about the turn action? Should I have pushed a non-diamond?

I don't know if betting anymore on the turn would really be anymore effective. SB has a bunch of chips, he's probably a donk so he's calling any bet you make with a A diamond.

I would bet more on the flop. Probably 150 or so and then push the turn.
Not sure if this is correct though.

I overbet this pot. If he has the balls to play back against an overbet with anything less than a flush then he can have the pot.
