    Default Awkward spot with marginal holdings

    Villain is 23/17/3/25 over 100 odd hands. He has 3 bet my late position raises a couple of times, and I've folded every time. No real reads post flop.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (5 handed) Party-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($126.93)
    UTG ($121.50)
    MP ($150.81)
    Hero ($104.48)
    SB ($113.46)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, 9.
    2 folds, Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, BB calls $3.

    Flop: ($8.50) 4, 2, K (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $6, BB raises to $15, Hero calls $9.

    Turn: ($38.50) 6 (2 players)
    BB bets $21, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $38.50

    This seemed horribly played by me, only I don't know any other better lines really. Basically I was just confused the entire hand... Let me know what you think.

    slow motion
    seems fine. Aggro villains are usually raising their strong draws and his line looks to fit a FD. Standard w/ only a weakish TP hand.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    getting my swell on
    yeah i dont really see much you are beating. this could just as easily be a set as flush tho, imo.

    Do you call down on non diamond turn/rivers?

    This is indeed a tougher situation.

    The hand above is a clear fold. On a non-diamond turn I likely fold with K9. AK I probably call 1 street.

    Do we jam with KxQd?

    I would seriously consider it. I would want villain to be a bit more aggro than 23/17/3 though.
