Yeah, X. You've turned into a donk right before our eyes.
A short donk.
Just kidding. I agree totally with Goldielocks up there
He's right. Calling the first turn bet gets you nowhere. The problem is the thought process.

All diamonds. I could be so far behind it's not worth continuing. Uhh, wait. Nobody led out--still not sure though.

SB figures he may have a high diamond or a baby flush here, so since nobody bet, he might be good. You still could possibly win with your six outs, but is it really worth finding out with now 3 BB in the pot? You call. It gets raised, which easily could just be someone seeing if everybody's bluffing. He was right, SB folded, so now it's you and UTG, who read-dependent, as Golden 1 said, could easily have -x in his hand, depending upon how tight he plays from UTG. He could also have A8 no diamond, or something else. If you want this pot, to see where you are, you have to 3-bet here. If he caps, you're absolutely beaten, maybe even IF you catch one of your 6 good outs.

Considering the akshun here, you made a decent call, getting 8-to-1. He easily could've whiffed a flush draw, but it's also hard to believe your 3rd pair no kicker is good here.
