Would you three barrel worse than AJ just hoping an unknown will fold a hand like KJ? I'm not (and that's obviously a good decision because almost everyone ITT is calling!).
Without putting too much thought into it, not trying to split, and without knowing whether the 5 on the flop is the 5d or not (which def changes things):
Range betting (or close to it) flop for 1/3rd. Double barreling that turn for 3/4ths with most of my jacks+ (gonna check behind some strong hands with diamond blockers a bit as well), a lot of diamond draws, and a lot of straight draws. Gonna triple barrel for 3/4ths with my strongest jacks and everything better, as well as a lot of my non diamond draws that bricked out, esp those with no showdown value. 67s, 64s, A4, A2 non-diamonds all strike me as excellent river bluffs in this spot.
KJo has to call in that spot, even if one of those is a diamond. Not blocking any bluffs while blocking J5s, J8s, AJ, JJ, and KK.
