Hi RIO,

How is checking turn instead? I feel like betting the turn does not achieve much, if not folding his 67+ gutshots that might take a shot if checked. If yes, do we check call only, and check/jam the river?

Sine we are significantly blocking his calling range (we also block diamonds), I'd either bet very small to make him indifferent or check and see if he's gonna take some stabs. It's true that this 5 on the turn isn't bad for our range, but I think blockers are an important factor here.
