Villian appears to be pretty darn aggressive

prett darn as in this hand? Or the last 50 hands? With the board paired and flushed one might turn Republican and go the conservative route...check/call. That river fits well with one possible draw. However, i like danza's thinking

If he has diamonds, they're big ones. So I think he might bet them again on the turn.

I think he checked the turn because he had no draw and he felt he was behind. Behind to a T or behind to a Q? That's not close for me. If he's got a hint of bite in him he's not scared of a T. He can't beat the Q. If he checked the turn because he was behind I'd have a hard time believing he'd raise with a worse hand on the river. So I don't give him a worse hand when he raises a river bet.

I think this is a scenario a la Sklansky where our villain will call our river bet more often than he will bet himself.

I bet/fold this river.

If I wasn't clear it's because I live in a strange fog!
