I would have folded to the flop raise. That said, if you're willing to bet this river after a turn check, I think leading on the turn is a better option. Face him with the prospect of calling a turn and river bet at least. I'd probably check fold the river.

I agree with this statement, the time to make a play for the pot is on the turn, its easy to call a bet on the river with no diamond, but very hard to call the turn when you know it will take 2 big bets to find out if your opponent is bluffing or not. I too would have folded to the flop raise.
