hmm, what hand pushes like that? I mean, most people would push A of diamond for the draw, but 25/5/1.5 seems like someone who wouldn't semibluff a draw like that. Smells like a flopped flush more than a flush draw, if he was going to semibluff this hand, wouldn't he have led the flop? Seems like a weird way for villain to play a diamond draw. A queen would have led definitely, i'm having trouble here putting on a hand we beat. The flop was so draw heavy that i doubt a set or 2 pair would have check called...its either a flush draw or flush...now..which one...hmmmm. How much do you have left hero? Although why would villain push on the turn isntead of slow playing some more if he did flop that flush. I guess I would have called, if he had a flush well tahts poker.

A weak Queen with a diamond draw would paly like this I guess, sometihng like KQ?

to me this looks like a baby flush. I think a set or 2 pair is also possible, but i think that 2pair would have raised the flop. you're basically behind everything, and i don't think villain is semi-bluffing like this at these stakes. most 25NLers much prefer to get their stack in on the flop with a draw.

that said, i call this hoping to see AdQ

I would fold this

I think a lot of people need to start explaining their one 4 word answers, if they aren't, then it's not really helpful posting.

IMO the way this hand was played, the most likely holding for the villian is a flush. If he was going to semi bluff why not do it on the flop. I might be wrong but it seems to be the conclusion arrived at by the other posters who said they would call. I think we're behind a very large percentage of the time here, the odds aren't there to redraw. So I would fold.

looks like either a small flush or a set.
