Re: Standard Value bet or Check
I think it's close. The question is not how often you are ahead (which is quite often, IMO) the question is how often you are ahead when he calls. I think he probably would have raised the turn or bet the river if he had anything that he was going to call the river with, so I think it is not a bad check behind. If he has the flush (I'm assuming the ace on the board wasn't the ace of diamonds, since you didn't say?) then he could easily c/r it on the river. He might even have waited to the river to c/r a set, altough that is much less likely.
