Default Rare semibluff c/r

5/10 online. My oppoenent has taggy stats....seems reasonable, good so far, although perhaps a smidge tight postflop, but nothing gross. I don't recall any previous HU battles between us.

Folded to me in the sb and I open with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], BB flat calls.

Flop 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
I bet, BB raises, I call

Turn:J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I check, BB bets, I raise???

When I get a fold in this spot, I feel like a genius, when I get 3-bet, I feel like I am spewing bunches into a small pot.

I think the diamond cuts both ways, in that I am more likely to get a fold from a smallish pair with no diamond, but I am also likely to get a call from any hand with a diamond---so does this make it a 3-bet play?

Does anyone like just donking the turn? Certainly less likely to get a fold, but potentially less expensive.
