Raise this pre-flop right?

Anything else different? There's no way calling down with a flopped set is the right move but I'm not sure what to do differently.

On the flop I was expecting to check to CO who would bet and then I could C/R. When SB lead out I didn't want to raise and drive CO out of the hand.

Raise the turn right?

Ok to call down the river? I'm not folding but the 3rd diamond makes we want to call instead of raising like I had intended.

yeah this is a little off. i like 3-betting this pre-flop and hope to knock out the poster.

raise the flop when SB bets. CO could have a big overpair that he's 3-betting. with 2 diamonds on the board this is no time to get cute and go for a c/r.

Raise preflop.

Flop could go either way, but I like going for the overcall/hoping CO raises it up for you so you can 3-bet. There could be an argument made for raising to make flush draws pay, and because if CO has something like AK or AQ he will call two bets on the flop but not the turn.

Raise the turn 100%. Cap it if you can.

Raise the river. It's a scary card, but you are winning this pot more than 33% of the time so you need to raise for value. Obviously just call a 3-bet.
