i should add that in most hands of my own that i can remember where a bad player took this line, they were almost always:

a)bluffing
b)never folding

This is basically what I was thinking. He either has next to nothing and will fold for any amount or he has a decent flush and is never folding. I would just shove.

I really don't think this is ever some marginal diamond that will look you up if you raise small.

edit: if he bet like 40 I would like a small raise more, but his bet size looks more like straight value with a good diamond or a bluff.

I like shoving because of his line and that he's not a solid player so he would think that he must call a shove w/ the T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] because he has the second nuts.

EDIT: Didn't see stack sizes. I guess I'd maybe raise to $150 or so. But I still think a shove may be best as I think it looks weaker.

I raise to 135 unless I have seen villain stack off really easily. Generally i don't think you get paid off enough times for a shove to be more profitable than a smallish raise.

i'm curious to know what is the worst hand that people who are advocating a small raise would call with in this situation. are you really calling with a 9, expecting a donk taking this line to have some trash diamond here on a regular basis?

i don't really even think its close, honestly.
a) we have the nuts
b) villain is a retard
c) we have an agressive image, and have been agressive towards villain
d) villain is taking a strong line

that adds up to instashove for me.
