Can I call this with no diamond? Any critiques of my flop and turn bets?

Any reads on the raiser?

3 bet pre-flop, to make it heads up.
3 bet the turn.
Call down river regardless of what falls methinks.

Three bet preflop, I like your turn, I fold the river.

Really tough one I think. I want to say call with 9-1 but what are you really hoping to see? AK no diamond, QQ no diamond, AA no diamond? Almost any raising hand beats you now including KK which seems to be a very real possibility. I think that a fold here is what you should do...there's almost no way that you're ahead here against anybody but the worst of 1/2 fish.

Re: Do I call this river with a four flush on board?
 

i think you have to either fold when c/r on the turn, or call down for one bet on turn and one on river. I think you're probably beat on the turn, but it's hard to say without reads.

I think you have to call the turn check raise...arent the odds of hitting a full house or better 1 in 3.

I'm guessing you're good 1 in 9 times to call on the river.

You should probably reraise preflop but I'm not entirely sure it's to get heads up.

Re: Do I call this river with a four flush on board?
 

I don't think you can reraise preflop against an EP raiser on the first hand at a new table with 99. In fact, if he hadn't of posted the BB, he probably should have mucked against the raise.

Re: Do I call this river with a four flush on board?
 

You can't fold to the turn craise because of the odds you're getting, the number of hands you beat, and the unlikelihood that villain has a hand that beats you.

You also can't say that once you've called the turn you can call any river. There's a wide range of hands that you beat on the turn but that just overtook you on the river diamond.
