1/2 Flopped straight

Again, no real reads here other than the villain showed down KQ on a ten high board to lose to J10, so really nothing flashy or nothing weird.

why are we raising the river again?

exactly
does hero like his low flush?

There was no real reason. To be completely honest, I wanted to get information to see if he could fold a lower diamond or not.

you wouldn't know if he did (he wouldn't). all you'll do is verify that he calls with the 6d (he does).

because we flopped a straight and are annoyed to lose this pot

raising flop is awful since he won't call anything you beat and he'll never fold any diamond, and even if he would he'll never show you his hand so raising to see if he'll fold a diamond is pointless. I guess you made that reason up just because you realize that there is no reason to raise...

You can see what he mucked in HH, hello?

Yeah, you can see what he mucks if he calls your river bet. You can't see what he folds.

Your river raise is really really bad.

Well, that's what I was looking for. I was pretty sure it was the wrong play looking back on it, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a play anywhere else.
