I like raising most rivers. you say he's capable of raising if he thinks you missed. if he's drawing dead or slim, you don't want him to fold. you'd rather he bet again on the river. a lot of times when I 3-bet here the guy just folds. also the nice thing about waiting for the river is something like a third diamond might comes and you raise, you usually won't get 3-bet by 2 pair and sometimes even a set. the problem is if he has a decent hand like Q9, and the river is scary, like a J or T (T making AK a straight), then he might check-call. but I think you gain a bet more than you lose a bet.

I feel strongly though that at some point you have to put in another raise
