Villain is pretty laggy, although over a small sample.

Should I continue to valuebet this? Villain is probably capable of a bluffraise as well as raising me with a monster.

How do I keep the pot managable out of position? I don't feel like stacking off with this hand...

Villain could be on a flushdraw here. I think checking will induce a bet from villain fairly often. I like a bet here. You can check a non-diamond river, so he can bluff-bet a missed draw.

I'm not really sure what the best line is though...

Yeah I think a bet on the turn is good given that a flush draw is a likely hand of villain's and some other worse hands will prob call(AJ,AT). Depending on how aggro he is, I'd prob fold to a raise because I don't see him doing it with air or a hand we beat.

If he calls, I'd prob check any river to induce a bluff from a busted draw and prob c/f a diamond river.
