Local 2/4 B&M

Reads: BB is typical loose-passive 2/4 player; seems to be better than the standard weekend B&M fish.
UTG+1 is a LAGgy tricky older guy who was teaching his wife how to play and was letting her sweat him; made a few comments to her about how his river bluff check-raise would've worked in the "bigger games" that he usually plays but he didn't want to play them tonight or something; seemed to like building big pots (3-bet with 75s, may have actually been to isolate but this is 2/4 so what was he thinking)

I'd say UTG+1 is gonna bet pretty much any two cards at this point after seeing some of his crazy river bluff raises earlier in the night. I'm assuming BB would never check behind with diamond paint since I've seen him bet the river without the mortal nuts before (which is why I say he's better than the standard 2/4 player).

Is this the right time to check-raise to avoid the overcall from the BB? (which is definitely gonna happen if he has a diamond)
