not sure why u are at a $200 table with 116, but calling is for losing players. U either read u are beat and fold or re-raise to find out where u stand. calling really only suitable for certain situations.

[ensign_lee]

calling? What's he gonna call? It's checked to him.

Here, you bet out at least half the pot (really leaning towards half the pot rather than more). I'm confident that your opponent is on overs + a flush draw. If you get reraised, then you can confidently lay it down.

[biondino]

What ensign lee said, though maybe without overs (or maybe just one). He had pot odds to call your $18 on the flop, and unless he has a danger hand like A5 diamonds (giving him 20 outs?) you're in control here.

[IowaSkinsFan]

I think it's more like AQ/AKs of diamonds.

[lowBoy]

I wouldn't put him on an overpair, as someone in that position wouldn't check such a draw-heavy flop. Someone with a set... maybe? It would questionable though.

The pot's around $63 at the turn, I'd bet $35. It's questionable whether that commits you or not, but at least you'd be giving bad odds for the draw, which is what he's most likely on.

[PokerPatNEU]

Thats a pretty big pre flop raise for anyone who made a set on that board...Not a set.

QQ-AA is not checking that flop unless he knows you'll bet at it for a check raise. So probably not that either.

You're ahead enough of the time here, lead out and squash draws.
