i see what you are saying by how bad the bet was on the turn but i was trying to get some value for having both the nut high and nut low draw. at least if a high diamond hit i was scooping the pot which there was only 3 outs for that to happen which would be about a 6% chance to hit on river. that would have been ideal. if a low card comes i will then at worst have a quarter, or half the pot. and if a low diamond hits i would at worst have 3/4 of the pot. i was trying to get value for my hand on the turning knowing i could get 3 more gets in before the river. I am risking 2 bets if i miss but am also getting 5 to 1 on turn by putting 1 more bet. also by building a pot players are less likely to fold hands on the river becasue they just want to see it and waste another bet with a two pair or a low set. or in this case a lower flush draw. thanks for your information it was very useful, i appreciate it.
