Don't raise the flop. Just call it down.

 my gut wants to say the flop raise is correct b/c you have to protect your hand in case the guy has 2 diamonds, OESD, or even QJ (2nd pr + gutshot).

but now that i look at it again, this is a tiny pot that may not be worth fighting for. calling could be the right move.

still, i like raising to go for the free card play. even a medium ace is generally going to check to you on the turn if you raise the flop.

when the guy 3bets, you have to put him on:
- AK (TPTK)
- AQ (TP good kicker + str8 draw)
- AJ (2 pr)
- AT (2 pr)
- JT (2 pr)
- KQ (str8)
- JJ (set)
- TT (set)

all of which crush you. the bet on the turn is confirmation. there's no way to win this other than to spike that K and pray you're not against KQ.

i wouldn't feel bad about folding.
