This is hard for me too but Ill run into a corner and fold. I know a diamond draw is very popular here but Im afraid of a set and a turn pair (turned variety) here.

Actually, I think you could consider that corner on the flop after villain's c/r. All you can really beat here is a flush draw or an all-out bluff, unless he's getting cute with a pair less than Queens. At that point, you have top pair with second kicker, which given the situation may not be that strong. If you do choose to call the flop, then the turn is a disaster and I think you definitely have to get away.

Let this one go and live to fight another day.

I would check the flop. What hand that raised preflop+you currently beat will call you? Is he going to take one off with AK? Any flush draw he has most likely has 12 outs against you. After his flop check his hand range is probably something like 77-QQ,AK you are either crushed or he is drawing to two outs (except for AK although if he hits his "K" outs you win some chips). Just check through the flop hoping to induce a turn bluff. As played his most likely holding is a set I would fold the turn.

I would deffinatly fold this. He check raised you on the flop and now leads out. He probably has a set or something like AQ.
