Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP1 (t615)
MP2 (t715)
MP3 (t670)
CO (t725)
Button (t875)
SB (t2215)
Hero (t795)
UTG (t375)
UTG+1 (t1015)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls t30, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t30, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (t105) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t75</font>, UTG calls t75, MP2 folds.

Turn: (t255) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets...

So, Villain has been fairly loose/passive, and has t270 remaining in a t255 pot. Any reason to not put him all-in on the turn? Or is this about as standard a push as it gets?

Just push here, don't go crazy, you don't want to give a free card to a naked diamond.

I find that weaker players don't like to call away all their chips. So while it may not matter in this case, I would bet like 125 or 150.

I don't, either. However, regardless how weak/tight or loose/passive my opponent is, a diamond + pair is probably played stronger on the flop (or perhaps I'm being too assumptive).

If I am up against a naked diamond (or even a hand like TPTK), even making a half-pot bet is unprofitable for opp to call.

I'm overthinking this, probably. I suppose this post is worried about the parlay that villain won't call a push, but will call an unprofitable, smaller-sized bet. But realistically, that's probably a miniscule subset of hands I'm worried about. And besides, I should probably just be happy with the t255 I'm picking up if Villain does fold to the push.

Whoa, looks like I answered my own question. Nevermind.
