For some reason flush didn't scare me much since the Ace of diamond was already out, however him having a diamond and hitting it on the river scared me a lot. AQ and QQ are scary but i didn't wanna give free cards.

Your Play?

Either fold pre-flop or raise. If you're going to limp and then call a raise you might as well just raise yourself. I would not be scared of him hitting the flush, but he could have AKo with the king of diamonds. If he had AQ I'm sure he would have reraised you on the flop. I'd be weary of QQ, but AK is probably the most likely hand you're up again. With that said, I bet out here about half the pot. If you get raised though, you'll probably have to fold. AK won't reraise you on the turn, only a set or top two could logically reraise you on the turn.

Lead out. I make it 2/3 pot.
I wouldn’t worry about the 4th flush card…there is only ~22% chance of that happening.
AQ and QQ are going to let you know it after you bet so don’t worry about it until he tells you he has it.

$10

I need a really good reason to think he's got a flush. If you were concerned about AQ/QQ then raising the flop OOP was a bad idea.

Why else a cold call?
QQ/AA
Oh my, are you busted?
I dont play this preflop

I made a somewhat retarded move(little bit on tilt, tired of bad beats and just wanted to get the damn pot) and pushed it.....he flipped AQ.

I reraised the flop to try and see where im at, however i guess i should have done like Fnord said and not reraise OOP. However then what am i suposed to do on the turn? just check/call it to the river?

Yeah, don’t play A8 oop. I only play it from LP and only at a loose table and even then only if I have not entered a hand in a while. I only do so to keep from looking like a rock.

The A8 play was an oops, but him showing down AQ just sucks, when he calls the flop i think Ax, but not Q. I would lead out with around 3/4 the pot on the turn and see what happens from there
