Should I have bet the river? Or was even calling the re-raise a good idea?

For better or for worse, I can see myself playing this hand the exact same way that you did...

Jacks are tricky (I hate them)..but if you had an idea the other guy was aheadwhen he reraised you the flat call is good. (though i don't like the flatcall with jacks myself)
with a jack I might have bet the river but only if there are overcards on the board. I don't like the idea of holding a jack high flush when the under cards are all on the board and the guy reraised you pre-flop. 4 flush boards are hell...i hate them every time (assuming i don't have the ace)

You werent happy with your jack high flush on the turn so tried to get a cheap showdown, which you did so you played it ok.

As for the opponent, he could have taken this pot away from you at any time. Its him who played it badly

i think you played it well and your oppo badly. would you have called all in on the flop?

Perhaps he felt I had an AK with the Ad and was going to push a none diamond turn. I think his play is defensible.

his play pre flop and on 4th and 5th street is fine, but not re raising the flop was a mistake.

Sounds fine to me

I may have just moved all-in on the flop

you're only in trouble against the overpair with a diamond.

Your opponent has to jam the river.

mmm

jam
