With only three opponents I like the raise on the flop. Coming back to you capped, I also like your fold.

I like the title. I've been going for that lately too, but not always succeeding at the "not stupid" part.

Good raise and I think that can be folded there when it's 2 more back to you.

It's a good raise on the flop and also an easy fold. The bet from the SB means a lone high [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] a good amount of the time and if the hand turned out differently and you just got coldcallers on the flop then I would check-fold a fourth diamond but bet the turn and river on non-diamonds.

without reading the other replies, this ight be one of those situations, where you want to see the turn, before you open up. There are 17 cards out there that you do not want to see. That said your raise told you what you wanted to know, and your fold was good (IMHO).

I don't think it was a terrible play.
