Should I call at the river?

I don't understand your flop action. What did you intend to do if a blank (non-diamond below 9) hit on the turn? What about if a non-diamond above nine hit? I think you should have raised the flop, given players behind you unfavourable odds to draw to their overcards as you're in a perfect position to make everyone call two bets cold, and if you are 3-bet by the SB you can fold the turn unimproved or the river if you miss a draw you hit on the turn.

Well, when the SB bet out on the flop, I thought it was more likely that he had an overpair. I figured I'd rather see the turn for one bet than for three, which is why I didn't raise.

I planned on folding if I didn't improve or pick up a flush draw on the turn.

Now I've read the results, I have to say that I love UTG's value bet on the river. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Yeah, I was kind of dumbfounded when he showed down 22. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I wonder if I had raised with my flush draw on the turn whether KK would have folded when the board paired on the river.

I think you should have raised the flop and you certainly should call the river.
I don't question the call preflop at all-Q9s is more than good enough here. Unfortunately you were up against a bigger pair but often you won't be.
