If you are currently ahead in this hand against a AX with a diamond its 50/50.

Without a read in a 3bet pot, I would fold here. At best you are hoping for a coin flip.

I never know what to do in these spots. I prolly would have decided that if im betting the flop its with the intention of felting if he raises. So consequently I check behind a lot, which I feel terrible about, but like I said, I have no idea what to do here

If he has Ax diamond that means hes calling our 3 bets OOP with offsuit aces. I think hes more likely to have TT with a diamond than AxJd

I don't mind checking behind here with the intention of felting if a non-diamond falls on the turn, that's IMO a pretty good and standard way to play this. It also neatly disguised the times you have J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Jx and don't really feel like betting.

If I'm betting this flop it's with the intention of felting. So I'd pooosh here and take the flip.

I don't think a flop check behind is so terrible
