Barring a diamond, I think check-call is your only option. Unless you have a better read on MP1, you are the underdog to at least a pair of aces. Correct me if I'm wrong, but once you're heads up it's no longer +EV to raise the nut flush draw and second best hand.

If a diamond fell, of course, well, you know how it goes from there. I would be interested to know how people would play the turn if a 7 fell. I would probably bet out. Is this too aggressive?

I think you're up against 44, A4, K4, or Ax here. AK, AA, and KK would've raised pre-flop. I'd bet/raise a diamond or a K (cap a diamond, but not a K) and check-call anything else. You may be drawing dead if another A or 4 comes, but you've got to at least see the river and probably call it down.

I would've just called the raise. Your 7-kicker probably isn't going to make your 2nd pair any good and you're on a draw.

Heads-up and out of position, you probably don't want to 3-bet here against an opponent who is not capable of folding. If any of those conditions were different, I probably would have raised.

I'm going for the river CR here. I think you can be confident your opponent will bet if checked to.

I like the CR too. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if he's scared of the flush, or for that matter, that he would raise a bet. I also don't like the chance that he holds AJ. I wouldn't object to betting out.

I like check calling the river here, the flop cap screams either possible set (which he filled up) or maniac. is he the type that could limp with AK preflop? if he is, then you are still ahead here, but given the flop action, I check call with the boat possible.
