Shameless bump. You all don't know what to do either, huh?

i would probly call down, but im pretty sure your beat, either by a set, an overpair, or a flush, folding cant be too bad

C/f, some TAGs will limp a hand like JdTd, others will limp pocket pairs from early... either way, after this turn you're beating zero hands

...Hero folds.

I think I'm check folding this turn. I've been trying to figure out what our villain could have played like this that he limped UTG+1. 55-88 or maybe 99, two big diamonds or Ax of diamonds.... If he had flopped a set with 55 or 66 that's an awfully bullish line heads up, so those seem a bit less likely. So on that turn 77 just made a set, 88 or 99 is still ahead and might have a better flush draw and two diamonds have you drawing dead. Given we only have 50 hands on the villain here, but if he is a solid tag as they would hint toward, I'm not sure what other hands we can throw in here. I think you have to be behind, and your flush draw is rarely live.

I also check/fold the turn.

Nice 3-bet on the flop though, as it could easily have been a free card play with unimproved overs or a flush draw. But the flop cap says you're toast.

Hi everybody,

Check folding this flop is probably not correct because there are too many hands that you are drawing live against to fold. The main issue in reading this player is if he would cap the flop without a diamond. I think he would almost certainly cap it with a set and if he limped in with a big hand like AA-TT, he may be trying to overcompensate his missed preflop raise by putting in excess action postflop. Simply put, the pot is decent sized (6.16 bb's if villian bets), and your diamond outs could be good, as well as your two pair/trip outs.

You should check and call this turn and see what falls on the river, which will probably consist of betting out any diamond, ace or six and check folding offsuit blanks.

I haven't worked out the math here versus a probable range of hands, but I suspect calling the turn is a lot closer (if not +EV) then the rest of you think.

What are villain's probable range of hands? A 15/8 who is capping this flop after limping early position preflop seems to most likely have a set, overpair, or a flush draw (which hit on the turn)... or am I missing sometihng?

Would this line be bad?
