Maybe raise on the flop? If he's got a diamond, he'll probably stick around for the turn. That's really your only hope, I don't think you can get him to bluff at the pot with four or five diamonds on the board unless he has one. Ideally, if he's got a low diamond, you could raise on the flop, check the turn when the 4th diamond drops to represent weakness, like maybe you don't have a diamond, and it might induce a river bet. If not, you might be able to throw out a weak river bet and get a call.
ReplyDeleteTough though, his hand seems to be pretty weak so if he doesn't have a diamond you probably can't get much more out of him.
