I kinda like it but raising the turn extracts money from the diamond draw. This is pretty much folded by everything you beat and raised all in by most everything that has you beat.

The only chance that this does not happen is if villain is so curious about what you could have that he calls just to look you up.

I think UTG has a Q. I don't think he bets out into you on the river with a missed draw, he is betting for value.

As played, I would have just called the river.

That river raise is too thin as played I think.

I prefer betting smallish on the flop. You dont need to protect your hand too much, but can get value from pocket pairs here. Checking is OK, but gives free draws to 2 and 3 outers.

Raise turn for JT+diamond draws as played.

I guess I don't really hate this line assuming you fold to a shove. I just bet the flop here.
