What the heck would you do here? KQo

I don't think I like this one and I don't think you will either...

UTG was a LAG but not a maniac (70/14/1.6)
BB was LP-P (58/0/.5)
Both with a significant amount of hands.

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls, Hero raises, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, CO calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB bets, UTG calls, CO folds, Hero raises, BB calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (7.25 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, UTG calls, Hero calls...

Planning to call any K or Q or diamond unless facing 2 cold.

sounds like a plan.

I would have folded on the turn when a passive player bets into me and gets called after I raised both preflop and on the flop with a dangerous board. Maybe I'm just a weak-tightie nowadays.

Why did you raise the flop? Are you trying for a free card?

I call the flop. I call the turn. I probably raise the river if a diamond hits.

On the flop and turn, this seems like one of those in-between hands where I feel like raising is wrong, but the hand is clearly too good to fold. Then I berate myself for calling station behavior.

I'd let them keep betting. If you hit on the river you'll be good often enough. Although I'd probably fold if it was 2 to me at the river (facing a diamond or another board pair).
