Not much of a read on villian, except from what I've seen villian is fairly loose (50% VP$IP but with only 30 hands).

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (10 handed) converter

Villian ($166.85)
Hero ($290.45)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $1.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $2, Villian calls $2, MP1 calls $2, 1 fold, Hero raises to $8, 4 folds, UTG+1 folds, Villian calls $6, MP1 folds.

Flop: ($23) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Villian bets $20, Hero calls $20.

Turn: ($63) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Villian bets $138.85 (All-In), Hero ...

Comments on all streets are welcome, but mainly i'm interested to see who calls his all-in.

This hand is purely player dependent. How tricky does this player like to get? No read...hmmmmm, I think I muck it.

Your hand is as good as it was on the flop. I probably call.

I think it's a muck. IMO you are up against trips not the flush, but either way you are beaten. These are the kind of hands that have demolished my BR lately. If you're not sure I'd say lay it down. With the flush out there and possible trips (I think he's a PP) you might already be drawing dead.

I bet the flop. Probably plan to check fold turn tho.

Do you mean raise on the flop? If so, how much and do you fold to a reraise? It seems like any sizeable raise will commit me. Do you check-fold if he calls your raise? I would think if he just calls a raise on the flop that means he has a high diamond in which case I push on the turn.
