That's an ugly, ugly spot for AA. About as bad as it can get. You don't even have backdoor options. Your Aces have terrible equity against their likely ranges, so for me it's an easy (though annoyed) fold.

So hero does not hold the Ad. I call the flop and reevaluate on turn.

i think i would call flop, my belief is that the vil can raise here with some overpairs and other hands we beat that would slow down after.

Think i call flop and fold turn but seems pretty exploitable

Think we have to call with our overpairs (especially those without a diamond) or else we're overfolding. Opponent can have TT-JJ, maybe even QQ, that they might play this way. It's also a spot where villains can easily overbluff with 7x and diamond combos. Heads up I think we're calling at least two streets here, but three ways I can see calling flop/folding turn to further aggression being reasonable.

Someone else raised the flop and we're 3rd to act with sb still to act. Mehhh I guess peel one since we don't have Ad but it's close.
