Re: Comments on turn and river please
My guess is that he is playing Ax with one diamond and x is T,J,Q, or K. It could be KQ or KJ, but that is less likely.
His bet on the flop means very little, but his call seems just a bit...

There is another way to look at this. Think about why someone would play this way up to the turn and then either call or raise your bet on the river.
