[BluffTHIS!]

Well the guy was first to act in a raised pot and bet into not just the raiser but also a couple others. While this might only be with a draw or 2 bad pair, such a bet is nonetheless a sign of strength. So against reasonable players I would fold. But if you know from past experience that the bettor is loose and aggressive, then I would consider raising all in, but in no case would I merely call.

I agree with Bluff, this is a very easy raise. I think that your first problem is raising preflop in bad position and being the first one to raise it PF. Your hand is not that good post-flop especially OOP. The flops you're looking for is Axx (no flush and no straight), 89J (no flush), 77x, 1010x, and 2-3 diamond flush on flop with no paired board. This is not going to come that often, no need to raise this PF. But unless I have a very good read on both players there is no pushing here (there is no calling as well)

OP was one off the CO and his raise bought him the button. His position isn't what I would call bad. As long as he is raising more than just A-A-x-x (and his opponents know that), this isn't a bad raise.

The flop is an easy fold. Most players at this level won't shove half their stack in with air to bully a suspected high card hand off a low card flop. Unless both players in the pot after the flop are complete crazies, OP is drawing to runners or (possibly) a miracle Ace. Even the Ace completes a straight. Fold and move on to the next hand.
