    If villain is a "thinking" player :

    No reason for you to be playing suited cards in a reraised pot (esp no reason you'd play something like AQs passively on the flop) so he either has :

    -a big pair with a diamond that won't be scared of the river and wants to let you hang yourself

    -crap

    So it seems to me the best thing to do is to check behind and call a bet if it feels right on a non-diamond river. he'll suck out about 8-9% of the time (less than usual since big diamonds aren't in his range... unless he just made a flush) but I think it's the optimal play.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
