Do I have the worst hand on the flop with a good draw, two live cards and the worst draw, or the worst hand and the worst draw. I was on a bluff obviously PF and semi-bluffing hoping to win the pot on the flop.

Some info on Villian that I checked before making my turn decision:
350+ hands
28% VPIP
1.1 aggression

All of these hands that I'm speaking of with Villian are SH, so the 28% doesn't make him a total fish as he only showsdown less than 7% of his hands.

What do think? Bad Ace, medium pair, or flush draw and what do you do here on the turn?

Fill in the blank.

Definitely continue to bet here on the turn. According to your statistics it seems fairly likely he has an ace, but he has shown no aggression so far so you might pick up the pot on the turn. And even if he does something tricky like check-raise you have 14 outs (9 diamonds, 2 queens, 3 sixes) to improve.

thx for counting the outs for us and especially a 10/20 player lol

why wouldnt you bet the turn? what am i missing

I think I would bet the turn as well. What is the other likely scenario...you check and then he bets the river and then you call?

You can still win it right here.

I don't know, don't let the 10/20 level fool you. I play 10/20 on party once in a while and there are still people making clowny plays...especially in a shorthanded game like this example.

This is my fear and it's a fear that I try not to have, but at times it creeps up on me. The semi-bluff was on a flush draw to get a free river card, but I was still shocked that he was allowing me to take that free river by checking the turn.

I'd call the raise. I wouldn't re-raise the river here. If I bet and get called on the turn, there are 5.5BB's in the pot going into the river. It's a nice pot, but not enough to justify 3-bets with a potential cap. We'd almost triple the pot.

Here's the whole hand. What do you guys think? I saw a lot of people advocating betting and I wanted to, but I was afraid of a C/R. Stupid, I know, but if he had an Ace, I think he would've and I put him on an Ace and figured me to kepp betting.

I don't know if I would've bet anything but a Q, 6, or diamond on the river at the time. I really should've followed through on the turn, I think. I'm thinking he had an LSC of diamonds.

Thanks for the input, though.
