Default Re: Too passive or easy fold??

So what's the correct play here then? I'm thinking a call is good. This way you don't fold out the aces you beat, and you also might keep some of the guys behind you in the pot.

I don't like calling here very much.

As he overbets the pot on the flop you get terrible odds for a call. if you just call it is very likely he sets you on a draw and will refuse any more betting if another diamond hits the turn. if no diamond hits you will most of the times have to fold to a big bet or a push.

This is often a problem of these flush-drawing hands that they don't get the implied odds they need, cause most villains won't bet any further on a board with 3 suits.

So i still think that check/pushing is the best option here, as you hold a very good drawing hand on the flop.

btw i would not count the queens as outs, with a 2 on the board you still hold a very weak kicker, but of course the 3 remaining 6 are outs, if he even holds an ace.
