you can't check the turn with such a drawy board. i'm not sold on calling the river, but if it is wrong it isn't by much.

I agree with James.

I only check this turn if I don't like money. That said, I don't think you're ahead after the turn C/R, and I think I could find a fold on the river.

You can probably fold the turn, but it's a little dangerous for future hands. Definitely fold the river. (I'm pretty sure he had QJ, and his reasoning here is this: Hero will probably bet, then I can raise everyone. Oh, but the other guy folds, now I'll wait for a non-diamond turn and then check-raise him)

The main reason why I wouldn't fold the turn outright is I think it might start making other players take shots at you.

You could be behind to two pair, which means you have a fair amount of outs, and you have outs against a straight (only to tie, but it still helps.)

A river call is a clear mistake, I agree.

Also, even if he was bluffing he now probably hit his flush...
