c/c turn isnt horrible as he gives you a good price trying to fill up. he has the nuts here very often so theres some juicy implied odds.
raising turn is gross.

So, there is no need to charge them for possible flush draw, neither on flop nor on turn?

well you have to ask yourself how much action you'll get from hands that are behind.. especially since you have no reads/prior history. there are definately spots where i could see myself jamming the turn vs specific oponents.

the normal NL100 player isnt that savy that he will semibluff big like this.

how is a lead/fold turn here for about 3/4 pot ?

As allready stated, the average 100NL guy raaarely semibluffs AI there and will push his made flushs, sets. Since there are no other 2 pairs possible i think we can savely fold if he raises teh turn.
Canīt see us either folding or raising the flop, raising allows pair/fdraw and made flushes/sets to play perfectely deceptive and we are in an even uglier spot.

Calling flop, leading turn for about 25 should be allright. Fold to a raise.

I think this is the biggest point here. NL 100 is all about hammer and anvil, subtle creative play is usually lost.

Now, more than likely, I would have paid this guy off too, BUT, i would have done it for as cheaply as possible. For me in 100 NL ring, 3 to a flush on the flop with the way they are betting and me with 2 pair is scary.

i really don't like the turn c/r.
As explained by others, it's likely that a c/r on turn will only get action from better hands, made flushes and sets. Only hand that you beat would be something like A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9o or 2o.

So on turn i c/c.
If turn is a diamond, i c/f.
If turn isn't a diamond, i c/c, hoping that my check let my opponent a chance to bluff with a busted flush draw.

You say your turn call is horrible. It's not: once you c/red (which is bad IMO), you have to call his r/r, you have almost the odds to fill.

Actually 1:9, it is no enough to hit my 1:11 draw.
If we were deeper, it is an easy call.

I wont think that BB intended to bluff on two opponents again.
My main mistake taken from my Limit game - check-raising in no limit is too costly.

I am leaning towards betting on no diamond turn and may be fold to raise, but accordingly to BB large raise on flop c/c may be the best.
