    I think pushing the river is a good play, but I don't mind the check/fold either.

    I'd rather block about 40 and fold to a raise. That way you get some FE against low/no diamond hands, and you'll know if you are beaten before your whole stack is in the middle.
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    I'm trying to look like I'm trying to get a cheap turn card because I'm drawing.

    hm not sure whether i like that OOP vs two villains...although if you were pretty sure one of them is going to raise you then its a good move.
