Greedy Bastard or No?

Villain is Fat_Dragon, who runs around 30/23 and is what I'm going to call "creative aggressive", both when he's playing for value and to bluff.

FD opens the HJ and I 3 bet in the CO with ATo, HU and he calls. Flop Q56 2 diamonds (I have the A of diamonds) I bet he calls. Turn Q of diamonds and I check behind. River T (not diamonds) he bets I raise. Greedy or duh?

If he is a SD monkey (which he probably is given your description) I like it.

edit: I also think you have to call a 3bet.

I like the raise. If he's as creative as you say call a 3 bet.

I don't like the turn check. I'd bet the turn and 3-bet a check raise, taking the showdown UI.

The fact that he is creative makes me want to just call the river, not put in 3 bets. Against someone like PoetMagician I think the raise is better. It doesn't seem awful to me against this guy though.

You are right... it's pretty close between calling and raising this river. If you don't feel comfortable paying off a 3 bet I would just call. WTSD/Folded to river bet/river aggression stats would help in this scenario.
