And a push by hero doesn't look like a flush draw? (who actually pushes over cards? which is the next likely hand that hero might hold after raising preflop)

Hero didn't raise PF.

Again, this is very read dependent and i don't think you should jump to the conclusion about his folding% when you don't know what villains range of hand to 3 bet is with.
what do you put him on?

you know against a set villain is 68:32
against a straight villian is 60:40
against 2 pair villian is ahead 57:42.

Two pair is incredibly unlikely. I would say villain's hand range is (in order of likelihood) set, overpair, straight, two suited high diamonds (K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]).

In my opinion set and overpair are a close 1 and 2 though.

There would be practically no folding equity against those hands do you agree?

In my opinion there is little folding equity given any of villians hand based on the range I just layed out. That little % is enough for me to play a coinflip with him.

When you guys say you'll fold instantly to a half pot bet when another diamond comes when you hold a set or straight, or when a 4 lands and you have a set every time is not being realistic.

Depending on the size of the pot and the depth of the stacks I may or not fold. If you are putting your money in with bottom set on a 2 3 4 5 board with 2 diamonds you are most likely losing money.

The problem is you are trying to play this hand in a vaccum. Taking flips like this make things a whole lot easier for you in the future when you have big hands versus thinking opponents. If you play like a cookie cutter you will continue to eat small cookies.
