This is the type of hand I lose much too often, and would like input on my betting.
Preflop, my raise was standard. On the Flop, I definitely put the villain on a flush draw, and a straight draw, while not likely, was a possibility. While the Turn gave me a set, the diamond worried me, and it's here where I think I lose the most money on hands of this type. If I check and he bets, I'm out, sometimes needlessly I'm sure. If I bet low it's too easy for him to call, if I bet 1/2 pot or a pot, normally I'm tossing away money because I find it too hard to get away from a set. In this situation (ignoring the result of the hand), what should my bet be, or is a check the right play?
On the River, I knew I had nuts. I was going to bet more, but I honestly didn't believe he had a flush, as I thought he would have raised when he hit it. Thoughts on my river bet?
