54wwsf, this looks super high to me, are some of the stats from HU? Otherwise he must be trying to take down pots at all costs.

Is this why you poped him?

When I continue with air in these spots I usually float the checkraise, planning on taking it away if he checks or bet smallish on turn, since a small flop 3bet seems to represent a pretty narrow range and looks kinda bluffy.

Maybe I am wrong though, maybe your small raise actually looks like a really strong reverse Yeti? How would you play jj+ here?

it seems like a good spot to get rebluffed.

I guess your raise really depends on the dynamic of the match, but I would prefer actually having a hand if I take this line.

the flush is out so yeti does not fully apply (it's still a dry board so it's not completely out)

if you would do the same with JJ+ often then I don't mind this; floating him to steal on turn may be OK too

they have no hands together so how does balance matter here?

I was gonna say something along these lines, because otherwise you are just giving diamonds a pass at free money here (by getting alot of your stack with the worst hand without racing). That said I dont like to get it in here, so I guess I dont like the play very much
