Push the turn? Very clear?

On the river, push or muck? I think just calling sucks.

i don't push the turn, but i bet it for sure. And i don't really like a river push, i think i just call.

checking the turn hurts my eyes.

So, pot is 1850 & my stack is 3300. I presume you guys are willing to stack off if he check-raises? What if he flat-calls & pushes brick river?

nah i'm probably going to the felt. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

could just have the Ad... or maybe some stupid two pair. And you're still like 25% when he has the flush.

pot will be too tempting to fold, me thinks.

He could bet with anything on the river here since you checked the turn and it's really hard for you to call now with 4 diamonds on the board. I would have bet the turn here 100% of times.

When you are beat your beat. Fold

I agree with betting the turn. It sucks to call a check/raise here, but I think your hand is good here way too often to not bet.

Just call the river, pushing is interesting, but guys just aren't laying down diamonds here enough because they are calling stations, even though a push looks exactly like a big diamond.

Playing against calling stations is hard when they make better hands than you.
