I'm experimenting with just calling rather than 3-betting Ax PF in a blind war after a suggestion from Yoghi, hence only calling here.

Intention is to call flop, raise turn in position with second pair.

With the diamond hitting, I revert to call down mode.

Ok?

well u can raise the turn here, since he can have a diamond and has to call your raise.

If u defend your blind passive, u have to make a little bit more action normally, but in this spot its also fine to call down, imo. villain will often bet the river with any made hand anyway (maybe also with an unimproved Ax), so u will gain a bet on the river very often AND u don't have a tough decision to make, if he 3bets your turnraise.

again schnup explained it well. personally i like a 3-bet preflop way better. if you decide to just call in these spots you should be really aware of what you are doing (and why you´re doing it) and not just do it because somebody told you to ^^
you said that you are still "experimenting" so i guess it should be alright.

postflop it´s call flop/raise turn for me. it´s a blind battle -> he will call down plenty of worse hands and you want to let a flushdraw pay the maximum
