AJs salvageable after flop mistake?

CO is new to the table, I assume him to be a donk unless proven otherwise.

Other than leading the flop, are there any other mistakes on any other streets?

I don't see why you'd call the flop and then fold the turn. It's counter-intuitive.

what scared you about that 9?

weak fold.

yeah, bet the flop. you could easily have the best hand and absolutely cannot afford to give a free card here.

if both players see the turn, I think I'm c/f a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9, T, or K. when it's HU I'm more inclined to b/f.

4 card straight as well not having a diamond in my hand. If Im behind my best draw is hitting another one of my hole cards (two of which are tainted), and I have another draw to potentially split the pot.

If I am ahead aren't there alot of cards that could cause me a problems?

Hmm, the c/c on the flop really restricts our options on the turn. I don't really like a turn CR, but maybe a turn donkbet then c/c the river. Honestly, the pot is small, I think after messing up on the flop its OK to let this go.
