Hey! I have some questions on the following hand that I played in a 50c turbo MTT on 888. I'm unsure what is the best line to take on the turn and, if I'm betting/checking, what is the purpose? Additionally, I am not 100% sure about the 3 bet preflop so if there's any reason not to 3 bet here I'd be interested in hearing.
The hand is fairly early in the tournament, at the time I don't think I had much info on my opponent but how would actions change if he was loose (aggressive or passive)?

Some of my thoughts:
- Don't think any ace is folding, but it is a pretty wet board so an ace would maybe want to lead the turn?
- Small bet on the flop and called reraise on a wet board so I feel like trapping is unlikely?
- If a hand like KQ, I only fear the K or J as Q would improve to straight.
- Diamond draw on board, put out small bet and called reraise so perhaps diamond draw, 77?
Given the above, I feel like the best line is either to check or put out 1/3ish pot bet to charge draws but interested in community thoughts!
