Hero ?

Villian is 17/7 I wouldn't normally bet a wet board like this, but I don't see a draw in his call 3-bet range. What to do when I turn TPTK and NFD?

I like a check/ call because by checking he can bet his over pairs as well as his flushes whereas if we bet he might fold those over pairs. Also even if he has a flush we can suck out

$2 on the turn.

Flop's wet, he calls all his diamonds and pair+straight draws (like 99 or the oddball 89) unprofitably and he won't pay to draw on the river. Plus the small bet size will make him continue with his TT-KK stuff. And last but not least, betting this small gives him the illusion that he has fold equity, and he may shove over our bet as a bluff. I believe it looks weaker than a check.
