When I play 1/2 I turn quite a bit more aggressive, and it usually pays off. Check-raising some hands like this had picked me up the pot a couple times when it was headsup earlier in this session- but was I making a mistake by trying it with so many limpers? Admittedly I didn't know what to do after getting so many callers. I would have folded to a bet on the turn, and possibly the river as well- although I may have called a river bet. :-/

I'd fire one off on the turn. You slowed everybody down if you were ahead, but then gave them 2 free cards to make a better hand than yours.

Bet the turn. You don't want to give a free card to an opponent with one diamond (not to mention let him hit his kicker). If you get raised, hopefully you have a read on the guy, otherwise, go with your instincts.
