Thoughts on what his 6x range is pre? Was this pretty standard at the table or was he limping/raising smaller too?

200bbs deep OOP I think call > 3bet but I think c/c or c/r flop is actually pretty close vs described villain. I think I'd lean towards c/r though given that he isn't folding any piece and when you raise this flop he is probably gunna play pretty honest (i.e. never going to turn worse Ax/Jx/gutters into bluffs on diamonds so I don't think we're going to have to worry about folding the best hand on turn or river.

The plan was to c/r bet/fold bet/fold but this is probably the nut worst turn card. Given how wide we can expect his flop bet/call range to be I don't think its a complete disaster card and I'd probably still bet to get value from pairs/gutters that turned a diamond draw with the intention of c/folding all rivers bar Ax and obviously offsuit Qx.

If villain was competent then I'd agree that c/c c/f would be best but given the information that we have, we can expect that he can tool out pretty hard. I'm definitely of the opinion that vs these players you should be looking to take the most exploitative lines possible and I think that its more likely that he'll make big mistakes calling too light here rather than barrelling this board with a range that we can bluffcatch against.

He has played almost every hand since we started so has a wide range. He would 6x every open. Post flop he bets when strong and shows his hand, has called light, but just took down 3 out of last 4 pots so dominating. Staring at me hard during this hand and seems to want the rush to continue.

Pot is 3,200 and I bet 1,800.

Villain calls pretty quickly.

River is  

So the board is  

What is the nut best option in this spot vs this player please, is it c/f, c/c or b/f?

[DMorgan]

Definitely wouldn't c/c because he just doesn't have any air in his range at this point. Sounds like the kinda guy that would put the cape on so you could make an argument for bet/folding. I doubt you're going to induce him to turn hands into bluffs with a smaller sizing so you could bet like 1400 and hope he sighs and flicks it in with 2 pair. Its pretty thin though. Standard would be to c/f.
