Default Re: 40 T9s in the BB, more than one street to play. EDITED

Flop play looks a little spewy, but whatever I'm a tightwad.

On the turn I'm not really too worried about a flush here. It's a 3-way pot with a straddle and 2 blind hands; UTG looks to have been trying to protect a Q, and SB may have an 8 or a worse Q. So I guess you're thinking of whether to bet or checkraise... given those choices I like a bet. It gives you the option of 3-betting and charging the [censored] out of someone with a big diamond, and protects UTG from taking a free card if he wants one. And if SB does happen to have the flush, he'll checkraise now and let you know without having to put any more chips in the pot.

Also, checkraising might make the river tougher if a diamond falls, because you are more likely to be against 2 opponents than 1. Betting might narrow it to heads up, and you'll have a more obvious line to take depending on what the river card is.
