now justify your flop raise

If I don't raise this flop then I have to fold, and no one has quite convinced me that I'm behind yet.

I think milesdyson's point was that any diamond would call the flop raise too. If you're afraid of that on the turn, why weren't you afraid of it on the flop?

I don't mind the flop raise, but I think you've got to follow thru on the turn (unless of course a diamond comes). Then I think you can get the pairs to fold the river.
