I raised preflop middle position in a 1/2 game to $8.00 at the casino. I was holding QJ suited diamonds and I get One caller.

flop is favorable and provides equity for me with two diamonds. I cbet $10 into a $16.00 pot.

A brick comes on the turn and I feel my opponent is aggressive so I check to him because I don't have a pair anyway just ace high. Unfortunately he's more passive then I thought and he doesn't bet to try and take down the pot.

The river gives me a flush with another diamond. Hero?

Should I bet into him or risk the hand by checking and going check check......... Squeezing value out of flushes is one of the difficult decisions I have to make. Once the flush draw presences itself, some of the more experienced people seem to see it right away. ( MAJOR QUESTION HOW DO YOU SQUEEZE THE MOST VALUE WITH A FLUSH)

Additional thoughts:

Welcome to the forum, OP. Please read the stickies on formatting a hand history. This was really hard to read, and still is missing some info and has other important stuff buried, even after I added line breaks. In particular, stack sizes and actual cards matter, not just the suits.

Also, please don't post results. I edited those out too. I'm not going to respond on the hand, since I've seen results and it biases responses.

Sucks we have no board to read and we're operating on feels of who our villain is.

Looks like a 2 barrel and definitely 3 barrel if the flush comes in.

I'm definitely betting river. His checking likely means he's got a showdown value hand or a draw. If he ha a draw, we only lose to Kx flush drawws and Ax flush draw, if he has a value hand they like to pay to see the suckout.

$30 is the bet into a $36 pot.
