I can't see much wrong with this line - if you ran into a 44 or KQ I guess that's just variance.

Those are funny stack sizes for L3 with 4 ppl on 1,500?

Should be fine against an unknown.

I hate these types of spots as I think most do, but I try to put my opponent on a hand obviously. The ranges that I would put villain on genearlly aren't going to include the hands that have us beaten here (although with an unknown its much harder to say). AA,KK,QQ villain is going to be raising before we do, or surely repopping us, 44 I can't see villain calling our raise and set mining because it seems too high a price. QK seems to be the most likely to me, but again I don't see his line being very normal here.

I like to call the all in here, and if by some freak of nature he is sitting on the KQ we still have aces and diamonds to catch.

You forgot JdTd.
That wouldn't be so scary since we have an Ace as well as a diamond.

Looks fine, given the two diamonds. If the board was drier I might check the flop, but giving a free card here would be pretty bad. There are plenty of draws a random could make this play with.

AS previously stated, the only concern is running into KQ in this spot but that's just him sucking out. I would have played it the exact same way.

This is the spot I'm always confused. As we have to call the push, we nearly never was ahead. Is fold OK?
