I posted this because I assumed my hand was obvious, but after the hand the guy asked if I had K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Since he knew who I was that means that he reads this forum, and if he reads this forum, I assume he must be good, or at least not bad. It shocked me that he thought I had a flush.
I had AK without a diamond. I was folding the turn to a 3bet, as I figured (incorrectly) that my hand would be face up to villain once I raised the turn. I have AK, AA, KK, QQ and maybe JJ-TT here preflop. Once I pop the turn, I have AK or AA. That's it. If I have AK, I do not have a diamond, as (a) I have no interest in paying 3 bets to see the river and (b) I want the drooling idiot to fold a small diamond on the turn. I never have KK-QQ here. Playing KK-QQ this way would be very dumb.
I think many of the responses here show a problem that many have playing mid limit live hold'em, and that is fancy-pants-itis. There is no need to do anything cute in these games. Play solid preflop hands and bet for value postflop. That's it. There is no big riddle here. Pound when you have it and fold when you don't and you'll make plenty of money.
EDIT: he had AA obviously.
