Default $1/$2 Trips on scary Board

Hi!
How would you play that hand?Unfortunatly I got no reads on my Opponnent

PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: (5.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls.

Final Pot: 9.25 BB

Preflop and Flop is Standard I think.On the Turn another scare Card drops.I thought that he may has a complete Bluff and could easily fold against a Raise.So I decided to wait until the river with my raise.Of course only if not another Diamond comes up.
Would somebody raise the Turn here?
Just calling down would be to weak right?


Thx for your help

I like the way you played it just fine.

Edited to add: Although many will say you probably should raise the turn, being that you have no diamond and he very well might.

why is the turn a scare card? (edit you mean a scare card for him) I raise the turn and call down a three bet. noone folds second pair or a diamond when you raise, and you make the draw pay and get paid off when the villain has the T.

I like raising the turn to get money from single diamond draws that won't pay off a river raise/river bet all together in some instances, I think the odds of him having a hand that pays us off here, is much more likely than having a hand that folds to a turn raise. If he takes us to 3 town it's an easy call down from there.

I think either way villain is paying you off. Once in a while, a draw won't bet the river but more often (though just as rare due to the less liklihood he has a pp) a small pp won't call the turn raise.

But what do you guys think of his Hand?I thought if he might have a Flushdraw he would have played this hand different.Wouldnt he checkraise the flop?I think this Donk on the Turn looks so weak.As if he can only win if I fold.So I dint want him to get out of the hand.
If he has a flushdraw and wont improve I thought he might fire again on the river, because the board looks scary.Of course he wont call the raise but I will earn the same with a Turn raise and C/f from him on the river but having he advantage that a PP or Bluff can not fold easily.The big problem of course is if a draw C/F on the river.That would cost me money.
So I think both options have some advantages

Thanks for our help so far!
