I would reraise the flop so I have the option of taking a free card on the turn. Then u bet the turn if u hit an ace or king, u can check if u blank. If a diamond slides off, play good poker and make a good decision (betting or checking is fine, depends on ur opponent). But in general, play your position here and give urself a chance at a cheap river ride.
