[b]Pre Flop:[/b] i[/i] [b]Hero[/b] has J:heart: 9:spade:

[i]fold[/i], [i]fold[/i], [i]fold[/i], [i]fold[/i], [color=red][b]SB[/b] raises to 3 BB[/color], [b]Hero[/b] calls 2 BB

[b]Flop:[/b] i[/i] T:heart: 2:diamond: 7:diamond:
[color=red][b]SB[/b] bets 3 BB[/color], [color=red][b]Hero[/b] raises to 11 BB[/color], [b]SB[/b] calls 8 BB

[b]Turn:[/b] i[/i] 8:spade:
[b]SB[/b] checks, [color=red][b]Hero[/b] bets 22 BB[/color], [b]SB[/b] calls 22 BB

[b]River:[/b] i[/i] K:diamond:
[b]SB[/b] checks, [b]Hero[/b] checks

Should I valuebet this river with no diamond blocker here? Bet 1/2 pot and fold to raise? I would valuebet with diamond blocker 100% of the time but in this situation I'm not so sure.

you simply need to click on new -Hand History-, not on -New Post-. then copy and paste the raw hand history like you did in this post and click on -Next-. rest will be self explanatory.

I think this is a mandatory value bet. You have a very disguised hand and strong hand. Checking this back has to be a mistake. Your bet doesn't have to be huge since it also going to be a scary board for him (you can certainly have a flush the way you played it). I think something like 35 to 45bb is a size that can be called by his over pairs, sets, 2r. and allows you to get away if shoved on.

The population tendency, at least at the site I play on, would be for him to lead river if he in fact caught his flush. They expect you to check back when it hits so they make this move for "value".
