I don't believe the flush. I'll tell you why...
You raised 10x PF, so obviously the range starts at AA and playing 3 handed it could go down from there to about JJ/TT, big Aces and maybe KQs. That's where I start not having a read. Then the flop hits with an A and 2 diamonds and you just call the lead-out bet. OK, at this point I'm thinking slowplaying a set...but that's dumb with the obvious flush draw. So then I put you on A-low. You got a piece of the flop and hoping for some help. I don't put you on any of the AK/ AQ combos, suited or off, because offsuit is raising this flop because of the draw, and the Ad is on the board (so I should say I don't put you on AK/AQ suited diamonds). KK - JJ is raising this too IMHO, I'm looking to take down the pot now, my one pair is not looking too good with an overcard and flush draw. So maybe with the call I'm thinking KQs or something similiar...maybe.
Turn: The flush card hits so I have to at least think about the flush...but it's the Qd, which is a bad card for you. It significantly narrows the range of hands you could have raised with, again assuming no read so not pegging you as a LAG, to KJs given your flop call and you trying now to get me to believe you have the flush. There is also the possibility you could have had QQ, called the flop bet and hit a set and thought you were good even with the flush on the board. I don't give this line much credence though because Villian bet both the flop and turn...maybe he hit the flush? That's enough to make me call him down unless the board pairs with my set. So at this point most likely you have air with the slight possibility that you were playing suited garbage and got lucky or KJs and eeked out the flush. In either case, I probably have A-weak or a weak flush so I'm calling this because I think I'm ahead and want to showdown and see.
River: This is a great card for me. Not to mention that with 2/3rds of my stack all ready in, I can't possibly throw this away.
I think the main problem you have here is the texture of the flop. You want me to believe PF that you have a great hand, but then post-flop you want me to think you're drawing to the flush, yet the Ad is on the board and the turn brings the Qd. My thinking is you have to have one of those cards in your hand to both raise preflop and get hit with the flush draw. Since it's obvious you don't, your whole betting line doesn't make any sense to me. That's why you were called down IF villan was a thinking Op. If you held KJs or suited garbage...then hey...lesson learned.
