Slightly more on drawy flop + turn (pretty pedantic though really). If I'm paying off a calling station I want to make sure he's getting crap odds on each street.

If he's a calling station, please value bet. If you check river you're inducing a bluff which means you have to call him. A check can be negative for two reasons;

1) You're not getting nearly enough value.. river is 'the money'

2) A check is saying you didn't like the 3rd diamond. He's likely to bet big if he has hit or if he hasn't. A crap flush would conceivably more likely call than raise a bet as you've said you don't care about the flush completing... you may have a better flush in their eyes. = pot control

AA is cool, but it also kinda sucks.
