note his stack size

calling cant be that bad, can it?

[Precise_]

i fold. you dont really know what outs, if any, are good.

I know it feels weak folding to this small bet, but if he is bad you can find better spots to exploit him.

If the turn was a non-diamond, then its different story.

[ofishstix]

i think he's rarely check/calling the flop with the nut or second nut flush draw than leading out tiny on the turn, compared to when he has &lt;q high flush. for that reason i'd call.
precise,
thek and q outs may not be clean keep in mind so the diamond is in fact good for us.

[Precise_]

yeah. i mean. calling is not bad here for sure. you're getting 3-1 to draw and are 4-1 to hit.
with implied odds (since he only has a half stack) its +EV to call, but not by a whole lot.

i think the times our K or Q hits and wins are pretty much canceled out by the times he has the flush and we lose.

btw.. what are we doing if a K or Q hits?

fold...hes only got 40 behind so youre basically playing with about a psb left on the turn...not good enough to chase.

youre making the mistake of counting the flush draw as 9 outs, when in reality its more like 6-7 on average considering the times he has a higher flush draw, a flush, or a set, etc.

Calling seems really bad to me so I figured it to be a fold, but it just feels so wrong to give up the pot to a bet of that size.

I'd fold without much thought even though it feels really dirty.
