Re: KT in Small Blind
The Turn bet is super. Checking is a huge blunder as now you let lone diamonds and overs get a free river. You have the best hand here 90% of the time, you MUST bet. The only way I could see not betting here is if MP3 and CO are the type of players who ALWAYS bluff at a paired board and you get the chance to check raise.
There is absolutely no reason not to bet that river. If the 4 helps the villain, well, collect your Sklansky buck and go on to the next hand. You should be betting that river against pretty much anything except a 4th diamond.
This isn't a "Villain will only call with a better hand" situation, since he'll call with 55-99, and A high (assuming that since the board double paired his Ace is good and you were on a lone diamond) etc.
Sure the 4 isn't the best card to come there, but I think that is a definate value betting situation.
