I'm folding the flop in this spot.

I don't like calling as utg is going to raise some of the time behind us. Even when he doesn't and it goes heads up vs CO, we're in a awkward spot on the turn as CO range is pretty wide and it's hard for us to continue on most turn cards if CO bets again. Even when we make our flush, we're often going to have to fold to pressure.

Seems like a trivial fold, bottom of our range, beat nothing but a bluff, their half pot sizing makes me want to call but don't think I'm calling a river half size bet if they fire again and they can easily have a bunch of value hands here.

While sevens are probably just strong enough to call pre UTG still has a major range advantage in this spot and while calling the flop once might be good vs. some opponents I'm definitely folding the turn vs. most of them.

I'm happy calling pre and the flop is probably just ok because of the showdown value with the draw.

There's plenty of draws which miss the turn but I still don't feel comfortable calling because of how easy it is to get bluffed on the river. This guy looks passive so I would expect him to default check call with a bare diamond most of the time, making me lean towards putting him on straight up value. If he is betting a bare draw then who knows if he's capable of bluffing the river; I think you're playing with fire hoping to call it off if he bets.
