100 / 300 / 300
4 limpers CO had 22k
Hero checks BB K4o no diamonds. (Covers)

Flop Kd4d3c (1900)
Lead of 1k
Co raises to 2.5k
hero raises to 8k
Co calls

How to we proceed on the turn if a Diamond comes or some straight possibility?

I'm not that worried about a draw when CO raises flop and then cold calls a 3-bet for 44% of their stack. I'm more worried about 33, but I'm probably just shoving any turn (unless I fill up, then I might bet smaller and try to get it in across two streets). In any case, with less than one SPR effective remaining on the turn I don't think getting away from this is a realistic option.

I do worry about a set here a lot but I think sometimes you just have to gamble when the pot is already too big and you have a strong hand.

But I'm not sure what else would raise and call the 3-bet on the flop. There might be some combo draws that do it, but I don't think something like Ad4d or Ad3d should be raising here. The draws like 7d6d and 6d5d, maybe, since they can't win at showdown, but then I would expect them to get it in rather than call one, see a brick turn, and have to fold.

I suppose you can just check/fold if you think they'd never play even two pair like this and a diamond comes. I do think it's a set a lot of the time-- that's really one of the only hands it makes sense to play this way-- but I don't know if I'm confident enough in it to just give up the hand when we get called. I'm not totally confident in my answer, besides.

I appreciate the answer. I was curious to how we play on bad turns, I didn't really consider a set TBH I assumed most players would just shove a set on the flop
