[/ QUOTE ]Howzit - Do you mean a non-paired diamond? But if so, could be 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (in which case you lose the nuts on the river). But you write "jammed with the nuts" and also "by the river, i hated my hand," making it unclear.

I'd hate the hand all the way to the river unless it's the nuts on the river. But then I'd love it.

how to loss min/win max on this hand? my turn 3bet is good or bad?

[/ QUOTE ]Not clear if you're check/calling on the flop and river. (I presume so).

On turn are you check/re-raising? (I presume so).

With six limpers, there's a good chance somebody has flopped the same straight as you. I don't see how you can tell if the betting/raising is coming from the flopped-straight, nut-low, or both. Hard to say what to do. Your line of play seems not unreasonable.

edit: I wrote the above before reading your response to Jively. So you have the nuts on the river, but considering the looseness of the game and the betting, may well be quartered by an opponent. I'd take that chance and go ahead and raise.
