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.

I think his turn check indicates that he'll probably pay off a river bet. I think if you're going to call the flop raise, then you need to compenstae somehow by sometimes taking the pot away. that means sometimes betting at a diamond turn. if you don't think it's profitable against this player (who probably has a hand like AJ) then you should fold the flop

Hi Bob,

If you held a high diamond in your hand such as KdQx, how would you play the hand? Is this player unwilling to fold TP? I would normally fold on the flop in this situation. However, had I called the flop bet, depending on the answer to the above question, I might bet the turn to make him fold an A, or check the turn and river, and then checkraise the river if bet into.

I'd like your river bluff a lot more on the turn. If you are going to call the flop, which is suspect, you should bet this turn as it looks completely reasonable that you a) have a big diamond, and b) are concerned that he will check behind.

I guess I'm misunderstanding - you'd fold 2PGK with a nut flush draw for one bet? ..and then once you've got the nut flush, you'd check-check? I need edumacation, apparently.

If I called the flop raise it would probably be to bet a diamond.
