 No reads on Button. Someone give me a new line here please. I'm thinking maybe lead turn for around 1/2 pot and fold to a raise, check-fold blank river if called?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ 50BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

MP1 ($48.65)
MP2 ($43.55)
MP3 ($69.30)
CO ($44.25)
Button ($52.25)
SB ($49.50)
BB ($109.60)
Hero ($65.30)
UTG+1 ($9.95)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, K. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
Hero raises to $2, 2 folds, MP2 calls $2, 2 folds, Button calls $2, 1 fold, BB calls $1.50.

Flop: ($8.25) 4, 6, J (4 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $7.6, MP2 folds, Button calls $7.60, BB folds.

Turn: ($23.45) J (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $12, Hero calls $12.

River: ($47.45) 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.

Final Pot: $47.45

Yea, there's not much here you beat. Diamond chasers only, because all Js just had a field day.
My sig is too much for you to handle.

Yeah, what do I beat on the turn? AJ just kicked my ass, a set just filled up, AA still kicks my ass, and a slowplayed flopped flush still does too.

Does QQ call flop/bet turn here enough that it is worth calling? I don't really think so. I think this hand should end on the turn one way or another, since any pot that gets shown down probably won't go to me.

C/f looks really weak tight to me though, it sets me up to be floated/bluffed out of pots so easily. But then again I don't really think someone is floating me on this board, so I should not play sheriff here.

Lukie is on a distinguished road
 Betting the turn and folding to a raise/shutting down to a call is another option. He could still have a lot of mid pairs (probably with a diamond), the bare ace of diamonds, etc. If we're called, I tend to think against most players the river will check through if we're good, but despite that it would be an obvious c/f to any sort of a meaningful bet if we don't improve.

I don't see anything wrong with check/folding either. I may check/call against a habitual floater who will often give up on the river.

 Thanks guys. I think I'm going to go with a lead turn/fold to raise, c/f river if called line against unknowns.

Against a total unknown I tend to pick my spots carefuly to play a juicy pot. Hence, I give this guy a donk mulligan and just c/f.
