my preference is to raise pre-flop,this hand does not play well multi-way.
on the flop i do not bet out,i check fold,if you make the ace the ace of diamonds i check call.

I would raise this pf.
As played, I'll probably call.

I don't mind the pf call in EP, though I'd raise a lone limper if I were further round the table.

Drawing to a J-high flush is pretty thin and not strong enough to lead the flop with, IMO. You won't fold a higher , you don't want to fold a lower one, so about all you can hope for is to buy some A outs against a made pair/TK which, since there would be only 2 outs available and it probably wouldn't work anyway, hardly seems worth the effort. I think I'd check and await developments.

As played, you've made it hard to fold for 1 SB, and hard to get away from if you improve on the turn. Awkward, but I think I'd call.

Monotone or monochrome ?

Anyhoo.....


On fully suited flops my rule of thumb is that I want the first or second nut draw to continue on the hand -- you have the fourth. So, I'm checking and folding the flop. You could be drawing dead here. BTW, I like raising preflop. (How is that for poker advice - raise before the flop and fold on the flop ).

As played I'd call, pot is big and it only costs me one more small bet.
