Should I have raised 5th or 6th?

Yeah, diamonds are scary live. But why not put him all-in on 6th and extract another bet from seat 7?

His board isn't scary at all, and my board suggests a straight--I really figured the raise might chase him away straight off (and lose a bet). At most, I can expect to get one extra bet out of him, since the action will start on him on 7th if Seat 4 is all in. I figured it > 50% that he would fold to a raise, so I didn't raise. Usually, I'd want to isolate with the low set... but I wanted the raise on 7th that might win me an extra bet to offset a loss against the all-in flush.

If you still think I should raise here, say so. I really appreciate your advice (and eveyrone else's) whenever I post one of these "I had a weird idea in this situation" posts.

Your 50% estimation is way too high, imo.
I just can’t see him folding for one more bet on 6th. (I did this once today, and I’m not doing it again anytime soon – I folded aces, only to watch kings up take down a decent pot. Arrrgh.)
By the way, I’m not sure if you want him to fold on 6th or not – given his deadish board probably not.
