16$ : QQ, overpair on a very drawy flop

I hate calling this, and even more so, betting it. I would c/f the flop here. If you check the flop, and it gets checked around to a diamond turn, then you can bet/shove, but when you bet and then get raised all in, with a caller to that shove by UTG+1, I would fold this and lick my wounds of losing a good portion of my stack. You're drawing to a diamond with action like that, and probably drawing dead assuming one has the A diamonds or K of diamonds, and with the 5, one of them probably has a 7 or 2.

I don't understand why not betting at all is better than a b/f on this flop. It is a scary flop for you, but it also missed everyone calling with high cards. Why not bet and fold to a shove?
