Villain's 3rd hand at the table, no read. But I was running pretty hot.
I have the result. Was really going to fold this. Decided I can probably only beat a bluff or a lower 2 frustrated cards flush.
So with all intent I pressed the fold button - not. Guess by mistake I pressed call.
Thoughts?
is there any chance we're ahead?

If you called the turn, why would you fold here?

I would have folded the turn or pushed, not called.
I think we're beat most of the time here and need to fold it. You can beat a bluff, thats it.

because the bet is bigger?

It's pretty rare a guy check raises the turn there and then doesn't move it in on the river once you call since there isn't that much left in his stack.
You CAN'T just think about the street you are on, you have to think about the rest of the plays you are going to have to make. Thats said online they do give you 15 seconds to consider all of these things.

Really?
Lets say he has the Qd. He c/r hoping I fold now. My call could slow him down in the hope of a cheap SD.
Also , if the c/r is a bluff, not many players have a 3rd bullet in them.
Yeah, I was the one hoping for a free SD. The min c/r doesn't make much sense. c/r suppose to represent strength, so why so small?

If you were bluffing would you check raise or just come out firing? Which costs you more?
Why would he BLUFF with a Qd heads up? He REraised preflop, he's telling us he's got a big hand, probably two big cards. If either one is a diamond we're in BIG trouble.
Most C/R's I see with the nuts or what the players thinks is the nuts are mini-raises or just bigger than a mini raise. The point of it is to get money into the pot before they make the big bet. If we call it they know they have a shot on the river to get a lot more, if we don't oh well.
I've mini-raised bluffed, but I do it because it's a sing of HUGE strength. Not weakness.

your opponent is very scared, he is shaking and crying and doesn't know what to do, so he bets and then bets.
