Why the 3-bet on the flop? This flop nails a typical cold-calling range.
As played, bet the turn, call a raise, and if the board doesn't pair or a diamond hits on the river, bet-call.

Keep it coming and 3 bet a raise -- you having the T of diamonds is an important card for your hand (since he can't have it, ie, AdTd).

That card is scary for his hand and you don't want to burn a big bet that will have been called but not bet.

I'd expect to see KT quite a bit, but yall are chopping now, everything else, you are beating.

I don't like the flop 3-bet. On the turn, what's the question? Checking absolutely sucks since he can take a free card with a bunch of diamond draws or hands that are scared of the scary straight card that came on the turn. So c/r is out. Just bet it and keep betting.

RESULT:

I decided that no hand that I beat was going to bet the turn and I didn't want to give a free card to a diamond draw; so I donked. Villain thought for a moment, then folded.

Why not 3b the turn? It seems like his range is mostly sets and flushdraws (with KdJd 12 outer), chops, and a sliver of AT. Don't we have >66% equity here?
