villain is 24/20/2 with a very high attempt to steal%. i had 3bet him once out of the blinds, but that had been about 45 minutes before this hand. i would have 3bet here with atc, other than a small pp or whatever.

what's your plan here? normally i c/r if i think i have the best hand, because i'm often getting floated on this board, but the turn was not exactly what i wanted to see.

i thought about leading out for more, but i figured that most draws villain might have on a low board like this raise me. i wouldn't disagree with anyone liking a lead for $6 though.

Tough, tough spot, but I think if you bet it's because you've decided you're showing down -- especially if you think Villain is bluff-raising with any hand that just picked up a draw to go with whatever it had already.

I wouldn't actually expect to get floated on this flop much, by the way -- especially if it's been 45 minutes since you last 3-bet Villain preflop. But you've seen him play and I haven't. Nevertheless, hands like A9 and JJ are possible, so I do think there's a decent chance you're still ahead. What sucks though is that a hand like JdJc has so many outs against your hand (17.5) that you're barely even a favorite against it, and it seems likely that you're a dog to Villain's range at this point overall.

I guess this is one of those situations that went from bad (getting called preflop) to good (hitting your miracle flop) to bad again (seeing that crappy turn card).

Ye, terrible turn card. Problem is he probably does not even have a high enough diamond to call a push. But you cant give him a free card either. You have to lead for like $10 here. Hard point to extract, but whatever.. happens.
