Default NL50: Middle pair flush draw facing action

Just sat down, no reads.

I was surprised that he called my hard raise on the flop and that he bets into me on the turn. What do you put him on and what is your line here?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $46.45
UTG+1: $41.30
CO: $67.20
Hero: $43.50
SB: $72.30
BB: $28.75

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2</font>, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($4.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $2</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $6</font>, SB calls.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($16.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $6</font>

I raise a bit more on the flop. With the pot at 4.5 and his 2 dollar bet, he is calling 4 dollars into a pot that will be 16.5 IMO, that's way too good and I want to charge more, we have a great hand on the flop. I probably raise to 8-9. given the play, I'm not sure whether I like to repop hard, maybe all in, or to flat call. I think both have arguments but I'm conflicted, and interested in what others would think.

I like the flop raise to be a little bigger. As far as the turn goes - call, no reason to develop a huge pot when you're probably behind.

Call the turn. If another diamond hits, you are quite likely stacking the guy, and if it doesn't you can fold if he bets, check behind if he doesn't.

Turn is an obvious call. Btw, on flop I would have either just called or made a bigger raise...usually calling flop...

I agree with everyone else,HU Semi-bluffs should be fat on the flop. I would usually just pop to like 8.5 here or something.

As played, I'll be happy to just call the turn, and will be folding the river, if the diamond hits, and the bet is reasonable.
