Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
2 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, 5 folds, Hero checks,

Flop: (3.50 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls.

River: (6.25 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls.

Final Pot: 9.25 BB
Main Pot: 9.25 BB, between Hero, UTG+2 and MP1.

I didn't even notice one of my pairs was counterfeited until after I'd already bet.

Hard, split pot maybe? I cant see anyone on AA or KK, no one has raised you at all so I cant see a set or trips, they either have an under pair or a Queen, betting the river here is ok.

I think I would check/call the river. If you bet, you will fold out singleton diamonds, and you will get raised (probably) by a T or (definitely) by a made flush. If you check, you lose less if you are behind, and you may induce a busted flush draw to bet.

check-call the river. It's somewhat unlikely that someone has a 10 or made flush but if they do you avoid being raised. It is more likely that either:

A) one of them has a Q and has you outkicked. They may check through and you save a bet, or more likely they bet and same difference as betting out.

or B) (and here is why you check) that one or both have a big single diamond. They missed their draw and would fold if you bet, but when you check they may try to pick up the pot with a bluff.
