Villain in this hand is bufo523. He has given me a ton of trouble in the past. He's very aggressive, a good hand reader, etc. I assume he's 2+2.
The last time we played I picked a few good spots to come over the top of him and he folded every time. He probably views me as slightly weak.

He's got a pretty wide range here. I'm guessing he bets almost everything when I check the flop. He probably checks behind some pairs on the turn for pot control, but I'm guessing he bets fairly often if he doesn't have a diamond.
So do people like a shove here, or is it time to give up? I can't really ask for a better turn card. If I'm not shoving this turn, I probably need to take a different line on the flop.
I usually bet the flop, but I occasionally toss in a check so that my checking range isn't entirely made up of garbage.
