cold caller doesnt raise original bettor to hope you make a pot odds call with a worse hand right? aka sklansky dollahs etc
Id feel bad folding this but guess id do it.

You are getting 5.3:1. You need to beat both guys 20% of the time to call. Lets assume (incorrectly, but just as an approximation) that both guys have equivalent strength hands - i.e, some range that includes crapola and flushes).

You need to be good ~56% vs. either player in this case (1-.56)^2 = .2 Now maybe you are 80% good against the lead better (might be bluffing) but you have to be better than 25% good against the 2nd guy, and I'm not sure you are.

Actually, I think it's pretty close - so, by definition "not standard" fold.

What could the cold caller have? Not AA/55/88/AK really he has a flush, KX, JJ, QQ, or 33. Most of those 1-pair hands seem pretty improblable... there's only 1 K left, and it's not a heart or diamond.

I just felt like their ranges were heavily waited towards flushes from the feeling I got during the hand.

First bet seems like a block, could be lower set or 2p. I'd expect a (backdoor!) flush to raise the river. Seems like a call to me.

its from sklansky isnt it?

If you have a strong hand and want to make more money with people to act behind you, you call and hope they like the pot odds enough. Whereas if you dont want to showdown or think a weaker second best hand might call a bet then you raise.

Id also assume tht because Aces is going to have a tight image opps know he can make a fold if they get aggro on the river, whereas if they stay passive he may make a call for pot odds regardless, if that makes sense.

This is true in a LHE game where you're not going to get more than 1 bet if you raise regardless, the whole point of the theory is to not open up a new betting round for your opponent to 3bet you with.

In a NL game where you aren't going to lose just 1 BB, but instead possible 25-30 BB. Also, the likelihood of an overcall in NL is much less than LHE, let alone at a HS table.

OP: I don't think I can fold this even if villain showed me one diamond or told me he had the flush (and I believed him).

in general then, do you think its bad to assume that the cold caller is aware of this in a NL game, even if it is fairly high stakes NL?
What bother me is that cold caller could quite easily have 78diamonds, but meh i still pretty much agree it really hard to fold.

you're getting like 6 to 1 here. you win 1 in 7 of these don't you?
maybe:
player 1 is making a blocking bet with 2p. and player 2 has TP or also has 2p.
there are so many ways that nobody has a flush and you have the best hand here. you must good 1 in 7. no?

It's only $275, seems like a no-brainer call, especially since the player who called the bet didn't raise. The question of whether or not he "should" raise with a flush is irrelevant, the fact is that almost all players would.

Ya I am thinking along the same lines but at the time I considered the villains passive donks. So I thought it was unlikely one of them didn't have a flush.

Then UTG with nuts makes bank! Yeah, I think we call, and then fold when UTG raises. I don't think c/r the river with the nutz is a great move, after all, we expect the lower b/d flush to raise...

same idea though, does mp with a middle flush find a fold to a medium/small sized c/r on river?
