If it's HU, I'll fire on the turn and river. I fold to a raise.

I don't think I like that.
If you bet out and get it headsup, checking will tell you more about where you are then betting will.
By leading the turn, you're putting yourself in the position of possibly having to fold the best hand when 9To decides to raise and "find out where he's at". You may also get raised by an OESD or fl draw on a semibluff. checking this turn does not put you at risk of folding the best hand.
Checking this turn also collects bets from any paired J or T, lots of worse kings, and mid pocket pairs. It also allows you to check/call a diamond river, which would much more difficult to do if the turn action was bet/call.
If the turn gets checked through then you can pretty safely check/fold the A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the river. You also get the chance to spike a K or 8 for free so you can check/call or bet/call (depending on the player).
