Turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4.75BB, 2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero .....

So I thought about a b/f here but villain was unknown to me at the time and figured there weren't many cards left to hurt me so I considered a check behind to induce a river bet and see a showdown. c/f didn't enter my head for some reason.

What's my best line?

I honestly don't see any other way to play it then b/f. If you have a read on your opponent as someone who would try a raise bluff here (which he didn't)you could check call down I suppose.

Bet for value. Your hand is likely best.

edit: I could also be talked into the check behind in hopes of inducing a river bluff.

gotta bet fold, the chances of him having a diamond are not super high and what is he raising that we beat?

Point taken. Some opponents get a bit spewy and raise bluff here at times. It would be extremely read specific to make the call down on that.

Yeah, I thought this but then I figured if I was putting in another bet why not do this on the river and see a showdown? There really can't be that many cards that can hurt me now?

I would have automatically checked behind on the turn to see a showdown, which is wrong. A read would be nice, but if you're ahead (and I think you are enough of the time), checking behind gives him a freeroll for 9 outs to tie, and sometimes another 3 outs to hit his straight, sometimes a couple more for two pair. A turn bluff is so unlikely against an unknown in this spot, and a bet will sometimes induce him to incorrectly fold a KQ or similar -- b/f.
