However you can check/raise flop all in or if he checks behind make a huge bet on turn that he's not comitted to call or check/riase all in on turn

[/ QUOTE ] New to the table without any reads or prior experience with opponent this would be the worst possible approach.

You would effectively be giving him a free chance to draw out on you. CR only when you're absolutely sure the opponent will bet for you.

BTW (1), even when he makes his flush on the turn you still have 10 outs on the river.

BTW (2), reconsider how "badly" your opponent played.

If he feels confident he'll get the rest of your chips even if a diamond falls on the turn he's effectively getting implied odds of 5.3:1 (the t750 in the pot from before the flop plus the remaining t1,900 of your stack). Plenty to call.

Labeling other's play "bad" sometimes removed the focus from your own actions. If you always are willing to commit your stack with a set when a scare card turns, you're giving others substantial implied odds to draw.

Moving in on the turn is a -EV move. You'll mostly get called when you're behind, and opponent will mostly fold when you're ahead.

Instead of moving in on the (scary) turn you could check/call - and thereby give opponent a chance to bluff.

Downside here is you are giving him a free chance to hit a diamond on the river this way ... the problem is really that your flop bet is a wee bit on the high side in relation to your stack.

With reference to the ongoing discussion about continuation bets I believe a half pot bet (say t400) on the flop would leave you with enough wiggle room to fire a probe bet of t500 on a scare turn and folding to an all-in raise ... though it's a close call, and you'd have to be very sure you're beat. I'd probably check/call or reconsider on the river if my opponent checked as well.

Best,
