you raise K10s utg?

I think 12 would of been better on the turn, but i agree with not making it full pot.

this may sound fishy, but what about betting aroung $5 on the river to get called by any flush or maybe induce a bluff. is this terrible?

Na...it aint terrible. I do this often at SSNL against a wide variety of opponents. The aggro-monkey will see your bet as weak and make a desperation all in bluff. The calling station will pay your small bet off without a diamond in his hand. The weak-tight player who would have folded to a shove will call with a mid-high diamond.

i like breaking it into 2 chunks for the turn and river.

Without a read, check or bet river is tough i think.

If villain came this far with a worse diamond, I don't think he'll fold to a 1/2 pot push. However, I think that there is a large chance that villain doesn't have a diamond - a set, pocket 8's, a weak pair catching your 'ak' maybe. Perhaps a check is better becuase you will get to see his hand regardless here, which is likely interesting.

I actually like a small bet worst of all. The sort of hands we're hoping villain has (a worse flush) are quite likely to simply call $5 rather than make a small push over the top, imo.

When I feel like it. I had been in aggro mood after watching tufat's video.

I'd make it more on turn and push river.
