Villian in both of these hands is 2+2er MagicNinja. I'm not playing very well because I'm stuck to some gigantic donk on FTP, and he seems to know this, making a comment or two about hands where I get one outered in the chat. He prob knows who I am but is very unimpressed. He's playing okay, probably not his A game, and is doing weird things which may be normal to him (lots of 2x psbs, into small pots particularly, and primarily OOP). He's probably winning a few more hands than I am but neither of us are ridiculously out of line.
I have thoughts on what I think he can have here, what I think would be sick if he had here, and what he actually does have here. Is river bet sizing okay? It feels really wrong to me and I felt like I should have bet 400 or 500-600 at the time, and not something in between, so I could at least pretend to decipher his CR.
If I bet more or less or are you more or less inclined to call the CR?
FWIW, he tanked the turn good, but the river was relatively in rhythm.
What if I've got KT with one diamond? KT with no diamonds?

OK so now we've been playing for quite some time and he's up a few buyins primarily due to a 325ish bb pot with a coinflip where his AK outran my JJ pre, images are about the same, I don't think he's noticed me really trying to get unstuck yet or anything.
