Yes.

Or to be less Fnord-like:
Don't buy in full if you're just playing your cards and not paying attention to what other players are doing enough to feel good about making difficult decisions for 100bb++.

Hmm ... why?
The flop raise is to 1/3 of the effective stack size, we're out of position and there are two streets to come. With the in hand, folding to a diamond turn is out of the question, so it's just a matter of how we intend to get maximum value if we're going to continue. Here is where you really feel the pain of being lost making a difficult decision against an unknown opponent for a lot of money relative to the pot.
