What would you do at this point? Should I have played the flop any differently?

[Tosh]

Check call.

[Daithi]

It looks like he made a standard 3xBB preflop, and you just called. No problem with that.

It looks like you played the flop a bit passive. You made a less than pot sized bet, and he made a minimum sized raise that you just called.

I make a pot sized bet on the flop. If I get called and a diamond hits the turn I'd be scared (position really does mean a lot). I'd probably have to check and fold to a bet, but I'd wonder if I was laying down the best hand.

[Tosh]

This is limit.

[CrackerZack]

I fold PF unless I think he's an utter tard. This is party so its quite likely he is. Given that, I check-raise the flop and lead at the turn. If you're 3-bet I'd probably check-call the turn since you have the 3rd nut flush draw and a gut shot non-nut straight plus possibly the best hand.

[Daithi]

oops, sorry, nevermind (nm)

So, the hero has 800 or his 1700 chips in the pot already?

The only really logical hands for MP2 to be raising with are are a big pair, or AK or AQ maybe A-10ss, He wouldnt have raised pre-flop with Q-10 would he? With this many chips in the pot, this is tough, I don't think you can check call this down, as that will basically put you all-in. Either come out swinging, or check fold.
