Tell me how to play it.

I know this is a premium hand, so do I want to rasie preflop?

I think betting the flop was wrong, but I have several weak draws, so do I check/call?

The turn is about the best card I could hope for. I have lots of outs to a scoop and several low outs. So is raising fine, or do I want to keep people in?

And I have nothing on the river.

Check/fold the flop.

You whiffed.

This flop for your hand is the equivilent of AKQs flopping in holdem when you have 88.

Good luck.

You ended up chasing after the flop for both halves. That is a bad thing isn't it? Check/call ONE bet on the flop IMO, two and your out. 8)

Pre-flop: correct to just call, hoping a later player raises so you can re-raise. They don't, but that's life.

Flop: That's also life! It looks like you've been reading Capelleti who says you should bet into a high flop if you have hit any part of it. Firstly, you haven't hit any of it, you just have a weak inside straight draw and a backdoor nut flush draw. Also, with this flop no one with 2 diamonds is going to fold. I would check, and maybe call 1 bet depending how I feel. I could very easily walk away here though: Next Hand!

Turn: OK, now it is getting interesting and You are certainly goign to stick around till the end given your scoop potential. But given your scoop potential, you don't want to chase anyone away, so it is better to just call BB's bet. (Note: If the flop had been checked round and BB checked on the turn, then it is worth you betting to win it here because it is unlikely that anyone will have the correct odds to call).

River: Oh well.
