Villain is 51/18/5 over a small sample. Haven't had yet the chance to pay particular attention to his hands.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool (http://poker-tools.flopturnriver.com/Hand-Converter.php) from FlopTurnRiver.com (http://www.flopturnriver.com) (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero ($89.90)
MP ($32.25)
CO ($72.40)
Button ($52.85)
SB ($29.75)
BB ($74.30)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, BB calls $1.50.

Flop: ($4.25) J/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $7.5</font>, Hero calls $4.50.

Turn: ($19.25) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $12.5</font>, BB calls $12.50.

The turn bet may have been a little bigger, like $14. Nevertheless, if he's drawing to the flush, he isn't getting the pot odds.

River: ($44.25) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $52.3 (All-In)</font>, Hero ???

The flush card hits and he pushes without deliberation. This is often a bluff, especially from this kind of a villain. He could also have QJ, but it would have been more likely that he would have C/R'd the turn in that case. I'm ahead any lesser Jx but beaten by QJ or any two diamonds.

If I'm OOP on this flop with this action I would consider to shove the flop. Since you are in position its cool.

When he checks the turn, I don't give him credit for a J anymore, especially when he doesnt raise my turnbet. He doesnt seems scared for you taking a free one. This looks alot like a flushdraw to me actually. What type of hand does he bluff the river with that raises the flop an c/c the turn?

I think I have to fold the river here.

Flop c/smallraise + turn c/c smells a LOT like a flushdraw.
And if it's not, then he picked a great spot to bluff, since I can't really see any hands you beat (other than a bluff) that would play it just like that.

I'd typically push the flop and expect a call from flushdraws, QQ+, and 33. Maybe even a few lower PPs.
