    Villian seems to be tired of my frequent raising, and has re-raised me once before (from BB when I raised from SB). He is 25/20/2.5 over 80 hands.

    Given that, what's your flop move?

    Go for the check/raise on the flop. He should be willing to stack off with a loan ace of diamonds in a reraised pot. He should bet around $20 or so and your push for $65 over the top should work out for you.

    If the board was not 3 diamonds I would probably check/call as long as he was willing to bet.

    On a less sketchy flop I am more likely to go for a c/r AI, but on a monotone flop I dont think we should be taking too many chances. In a spot like this I would rather lead so that we dont lose value in case the flop checks through and there is also a good chance he pushes with the lone Ad.

    He has a diamond around ~40% of the time and given the game/stakes and situation described I think it almost always gets bet.

    I like a c/r all-in if we're going to continue.
