    What are you getting value from by shoving this turn? What better hands fold?

    Bad stackoff for sure. Without specific info on villain You should avoid calling 3bets preflop with KQo.

    I put him on AA / KK preflop, and so even after you pair up on the flop you are still beat. I probably would have just gone into quiet mode and checked the turn, folded on the river if I didn't hit another Q or a K. Not saying that's the best thing to do, but just thinking out load.

    Your line looks so strong but you never ever fold out better. Checking back turn and calling a river bet is much better.

    It would be horrible to call this preflop and not stack off here.
    Kre8r he says villain is a light 3better so thats specific info whcih makes KQ playable here for value.

    I can definitely see the argument for checking turn and calling river being better, or even betting soemthing silly like $10 to get called by a hand like AT or 99 which may fold to a shove or even to try and induce a hopeless shove. However if he shoves the turn on even a non-diamond and we are not snap calling we should have folded preflop.

    I like checking back since a free card is more likely to help us than hinder us. Only really a non diamond ace and to a lesser extent a non diamond J or 9 really bother us. And if a 4th diamond comes and he doesnt have one good chance he tries to rep it anyway.

    I didnt read the title that said he was a light 3better. My bad. If thats the case then like Wota said, its probably okay to play it this way and stackoff.

    How light was he 3 betting? What had you seen him show down with and how many times? What were his stats? I don't hate it but I don't like it. I probably call that 3 bet suited against a light 3 better and fold that flop when it's painfully obvious he's got me beat. This is just a bad spot....I'd wait for better honestly pre you should have folded it up.
