KK Overpair to board NL25

Villain is 51/25 over about 50 hands. He seems fairly sensible though, if a little too happy calling reraises. Prior to this hand I'd reraised him like this in exactly the same position and he folded to a continuation bet on the flop.

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $22.90

Preflop: Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 Players)
UTG calls $0.25, CO raises to $1.25, Hero raises to $4.00, 3 folds, CO calls $2.75

CO bets $5.25

What's a good line here? What sort of hands is he holding here most of the time? I really want to put him on something like JJ or QQ with a diamond. Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Call and get it in on a non diamond turn, or push now.

Sometimes in this spot I like to just call the flop bet. He is not going anywhere with AK/AQ with a diamond, or QQ/JJ with a diamond. He is gonna lead again on a non diamond turn alot of the time, and you can push then gaining the same value of a raise if he just calls a flop raise from you.

Villan is gonna correctly push over a flop raise with the ace of diamonds since he is only in bad shape against 1010. And QQ/JJ with a diamond have 42% on the flop to beat your KK.

For me I like to take a non-diamond turn off then get the money in since most villans are still not droppin the lone diamond. At that point your a 3 to 1 favorite if they dont have a set.
