Your third raise actually needs to be a bit larger.

If it's a bit larger it's an easy push on any safe turn. Any [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] aside from the 6 and it's tricky. I'd give less credit to a straight card so you might have to push into the nuts. If 9 pairs you still could have best hand vs draw but it might be a good time to release.

What would you raise it to? Raising the pot would make it 22 with $75 left behind, so a turn push would be 1.5x the pot. Raising 1.5x the pot on the flop would be to 30, so if he calls that my turn push would then be exactly the pot. The latter sounds about like what you're going for.

Yes, sounds good.

If I took this line I'd certainly push on any of the straight cards, I'd probably give up on a diamond, and I'm not sure what I'd do on a 9. If he flat-calls a raise to 30 on the flop, doesn't that make his hand look more like a draw than a pair?

Yes, I said you'd have to push on a straight card even if it means pushing into the nuts
this is because there are too many straight cards to pin point his exact hand.

Yeah, if he flatcalls the 30 it's basically saying he'll go all in, as with a big draw he'll have odds on the turn. A draw moving in after you've put in a 3rd raise from the blind can not expect good fold equity, except against your exact hand. And even then I'm not sure getting the price you are letting go of bottom two is correct.
