I know my betting was kind of weak on this hand, but i was happy with the way i played it. What kind of line do you take here? I know oftentimes a minraise is a monster, but i feel like on such a draw heavy board even an idiot raises more with a big hand, while someone might be minraising for a free card with an oesd or oesfd. Thus, playing oop i bet the turn.
When they both call and no obvious cards fall on river i wasn't sure whether i should check to induce the bluff or make a small value bet on the river. My only issue with checking is that my hand is not very strong at all and i'm not sure that i have the balls to call here if someone stabs at the pot with a $40-$50 bet because they could easily have something like J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif T /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and be beating me when they think that they are bluffing. I just know that if u induce the bluff you have to call and i wasn't ready for that. All being said, should i check and call a large river bet? Thanks for the help.

please use the converter

turn bet was too small, and i think i'd prefer a check/call anyway.

river bet was definitely too small

try not to include the results of the hand since it can skew the responses.
