I thought that if he's got a piece of this flop he's not gonna fold it if I raise, and if he doesn't I will call him down and let him bluff the whole way. The only thing I was scared of was a diamond or the turn pairing the board. On the river I figured two pair, a straight and trips as unlikely so I raise for value.
What do you think of this play, is it reasonable or terrible?
