Representing a high flush on the river

What do you think about my bluff here? My thought process was as follows. If he has a high card of diamond he probably would have bet the turn, and if he have a low card of diamond he wouldn't bet the river beacuse he would be worried that i have a higher flush and so he would probably check the river. However he did bet wich made me a bit suspicious.

I don't like calling since I'm not sure I can even beat a bluff with my low pair. So I should raise and try to represent a strong hand. He really can't call if he has no diamond.

I think that most of the time you will burn money here.

I think we could bluff at some point before river. Probably we could bet the turn and decide river (probably bet unimproved on non-diamond card). All small pocket pairs will fold OTT and/or all turn flushdraws will fold on the river if miss.

I think your thought process is not bad, but I wouldn't expect players to fold any kind of a flush OTR without the read.

Hmmmm...

C-bet or delayed c-bet would be fine.

River: It is rather bad, but not as bad as it looks. Some villain would require holding A♦: to call here.
