He either has 77 or some suited connectors? So at flop its quite difficult becouse he is so short. I hold Kd so I think I have to call flop? But I also know he is going to jam turn almost everytime.. Whats your toughts?

I think it is fine to bet flop as villains are calling with Qx and Adxx always but when raised, it does put you in a ****ty spot. It is such a big raise but I think you have to call at least one. When I was a beginner I would tend to raise in these spots with Qx to defend against diamonds, maybe villain is doing the same? The only hand you are drawing dead to is the A high flush and you are still pretty high up in your range.

V has a stack less than 50bb. X/r is going to be better than betting.

Sorry didn't notice V's stack size but even so. Against loose passives like this I think a better line is to bet/bet/bet as villain won't bet with weak diamonds but will call bets with them for sure and possibly the same with his Qx/Jx.
