						I don't like it.  His numbers are pretty standard for mediocre players at those stakes, which means that his line (call raise, check/call flop, then lead the turn) yells out "I HAVE A HAND," and he's likely not folding to your push - so your fold equity is a lot lower than you'd like, and parts of your draw may be dirty.  I think the low end of his range is like KQ, and pretty often he has QJ, AK, 89, 33, or TT.  I suspect under the circumstances I'd rather call and get it in on a diamond or king river, call or value bet an 8 (probably), and fold if you miss and he bets.  (An ace is a clear check behind or fold.) 
 
I'd like to see a lot more risk analysis going on around here with regard to these type of hands.  I feel like there's a new(ish) philosophy of playing any good draw hard and fast, but with just one card to come and a non-awful player showing strength, there's a lot weighing against this kind of move.
