1) Your opponent called a raise from EP. In a 3/6 game or above (remembering the Gap Concept from Sklansky), you (IF YOU READ THE OPPONENT AS SOLID) can assume that he has some type of decent hand. Of course, if UTG+2 is a donkey, play on and win the pot. The Gap Concept, oversimplified, is that you need a better hand to call a raise with than you need to make a raise with.
2) On the flop, he led out, you raised, and he flat called. This means he either has a reasonable expectation to have the best hand, or he already does. Could he have a set here and have you drawing virtually dead to a runner-runner straight (or in the case of TT or 33, running jacks)? Could he have AK or AQ and have you drawing to 3 outs? On the turn, what appeared to be a blank, you bet and he raised. He just pulled a stop'n'go check-raise on you, and you need to be afraid of some of the above situations. His raise says that he has a solid hand, and even if he doesn't have a set, he doesn't want you around to draw for what he sees as a potential flush draw with 2 diamonds on the board. Could he even have A9 here?
3) Against a solid player, you're pretty sure you're beat here. You've been aggressive the whole time, and he just called a flop raise, and raised you a BB on the turn.
Bad things happen when you don't lay this down, but that being said, I'm not sure I'm at piers level of discipline or skill level to lay this down all the time to a solid player. I'd probably donk off some BB's here when he shows me his set or rivered boat. That's why I'm not a pro.
