Ego,

We are betting the river primarily for value. With the turn being checked through, we may have instilled some false sense of security in what is an inferior hand to ours. We are looking to get called from marginal hands like Jx all the way down to even A9.

The fact that he may bluff raise with busted diamonds or even a missed straight draw (with or without a pair) makes a bet even more enticing. But getting him to bluff is not our primary goal. It is a perk. Not missing value is our objective.
