villain is 21/13/2.8 TAG w/ 31% Attempt to steal

i probably played this too weak, but there's several possible lines here, so i'm wondering if anyone has any strong opinions on what might be the correct line.

I think you should have bet the river. There are very few hands where I think he raises your river bet==&gt;it is unlikely to cost you anymore than you were going to pay any way. Given his 3 bet on the flop, I don't think he has a hand that he is likely to fold on the river, so you will proboly get action. Also, if he is a thinking player, he may guess that you were on a diamond draw ==&gt;making it less likely that he will bet the river if he has an 8, pocket pair, or even a Q.

That being said, I dont think the river C/C is far behind.

Question: why are you convinced that this was a steal attempt? I wouldn't have read it that way.

Because it's 5 handed and villain is effectively in the CO.

Other possibilities:

3-bet preflop and/or cap the flop. Just bringing them up. As far as the hand there is nothing inherently wrong w/ it, it looks pretty...I just know the results /images/graemlins/grin.gif. But the two things I brought up have their possibilities.
