    So i was playing a session yesterday when this hand comes up. I was sitting with about $300 and the villain from this hand has me covered. There were two limpers and im in middle position and look down at JJ. I raise it up to $14 and both limpers call. Flop comes QJ9 with two diamonds. First player checks and the action is on the villain from this hand. He is sitting directly to my right and i am looking at him as he decides wut he wants to do. He goes to check his cards and as he does this donkey lifts them up and i can see perfectly that he has AJ with the ace of diamonds. He decides to donk lead into me for $30. So for i second i think about raising and telling him i have him drawing to running cards but then i thought i am here to make money and that it is his fault for showing me his cards. So decide to just flat cuz i dont want to raise and scare him off. The turn comes a diamond so now he has the flush draw and he leads for $50 and i decide to raise it up to $150 since i know he will call and i want to get more money from him. So im sitting there saying no diamond in my head and as soon as i see red flipping over i knew he had hit runner runner on me. He snap goes all in and i am forced to fold. If i wouldnt have seen his cards i would have just raised that wet board on the flop and took it down. Wut would u guys have done in this situation and has anybody had any similar situations happen to them?

    I think you played it fine. Only thing I think you could have done is shove the turn cause its only another 100 on top and we know he has nut flush draw an overcard and second pair so he prolly calls, I think in the longrun its the more profitable play. But call flop, raise 150 on turn, obv fold river is not a bad line either. Just unlucky he hit.

    Only reason to raise the flop would be to get the other limper out of there. But he folded so no need to second guess that decision.

    You played it fine and he got runner runner. I would have just shoved the turn not to be results oriented. You know he wouldnt have folded.

    Seeing you saw his cards can play with your mind. If you didnt see his cards lets say what do u do on flop? I raise his bet of 30 on flop to 75 to 100 because of the wet board like you said. Now if he calls i agree with all on turn i push, but i never said im a winning player lol. Thats just my point and line i take.

    Ya if i wouldnt of saw his cards i defenitely would have raised that flop since it was so wet. I and i probably would have won the pot right there. I just couldnt believe a diamond hit the turn. When i saw he had AJ i was already thinking in my head about stackin his chips up. I kinda thought like the 3 of spades or something was coming on the turn so that he would just be drawing dead.

    He had middle pair not top so I was pretty sure he was going to fold if I raised the flop.
