It wouldn't be a donk if you bet here since you 3bet pf. Just bet here and try to get it all-in. Hopefully he has an overpair. If he has the flush or unlikely straight so be it and you have plenty of outs.

must bet

ahh, the 2p2 reg who open minraises the button, i'll admit it was me guys.

I don't 3bet pf, there are ALOT of flops that put us in a tough spot especially being out of position vs someone you obviously see as a competant opponant.

Must bet around 1.4 here

Easy bet for value ~1.5. You have to be really unlucky to run into a flush or str8 here.

i dont doubt that i have the best hand. the question is whether to bet or to c/r

[Lostit]

Gotta bet. The villain here could be hating this flop worse than you do. You have no post flop action at this point to tell you how the villain feels about this. You also still have the initiative from your preflop raise, and you have outs, even if he has hit the flop.

Also, if the villain has hit the flush, he's likely to let you set the price on the flop, not wanting to re-raise and shut down the hand. This gives you a chance to pair the board at your price, not his.

[BadSeed]

C/r is out of question, you don't want to give his random diamond a chance to draw.
