Re: Going broke with 1 pair
I think you can fold the turn. Villain obviously isn't afraid that YOU have AQ, so he either has AQ or has AQ beaten already. He's basically betting the turn to give you incorrect odds to draw if you have 2 diamonds.
If he was on a diamond draw, I think he'd bet more on the turn. I think folding to the 1/2 pot turn bet is probably ok. I wouldn't fold to the min-raise on the flop, but that follow up lead for 1/2 pot on the turn screams strength to me.
On the river, he didn't get better or worse with that second Q. He either had you beaten already, or missed his draw and is bluffing. Since you called the turn, you now have to call the river and hope you were right that he was betting a flush draw.
