About 15 hands in at a loose table. Villain is UTG and has been limp happy and not overly aggressive.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif. MP3 posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls, Hero raises, 1 fold, MP2 calls, MP3 (poster) 3-bets, 3 folds, BB calls, UTG calls, Hero caps, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (20.50 SB) T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (5 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, BB calls, UTG raises, Hero 3-bets, MP3 folds, BB calls, UTG caps, Hero calls, BB calls.

Villain check-raises, I three-bet because he could be messin' around with AT, though unlikely as he seemed average passive, or maybe a flush draw but I didn't think he would make that play either. Actually I don't know why I raised.

If villain is on a flush draw, is it correct for him to check-raise?

Though villain was loose, he wasn't loose enough to play T2, T3, or 32. I put him on a set after his flop cap.

Turn: (16.75 BB) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, Hero calls, BB calls.

I put villain on a set, I don't have the odds for a two outer so the reason I'm calling is that I don't believe myself?

River: (19.75 BB) 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, Hero calls, BB calls.

Final Pot: 22.75 BB

Yoy played it fine I think. The pot is too big for you to fold and you have lots of outs to beat 2 pair if you are not already beating a flush draw.

I don't think he's limping T3, T2, or 23 though.

So basically it's either a flush draw (possible), an overpair, AA or anything else that you beat (less likely) or a set. I still think you can't fold.

Grunch:

all the same with exception to flop

Flop: call instead of 3-bet worried about two pair or flush draw. Call down and hope no diamond falls.

It looks like a set also, but 2pair is also played the same. Sets are often check/raised on the turn.

I'm not sure you can fold anywhere here, After he caps hes saying i can beat your premium hand. If your folding anywhere it'd be the river(you have many hidden outs Vs 2 pair).

And folding river in a 20BB pot, Is a no no.
