Preflop I never cap in this spot. Flop I think he follows through a lot on this board so I delay. Turn isn't great but I still think I am way ahead of his range and can get value from lots worse so I follow through with c/r. Once 3-bet I don't think he has much worse for value or that he would semibluff, as we have no history and he hasn't done anything crazy I've seen, so I fold. This line is really exploitable if I often take it I guess but against some guy I have no reads on is it ok/terrible?

I would say that he also calls turn with any diamond he happens to have so we can get value from a fair bit more than you mentioned. But overall I think I might tend to agree with you that we probably don't have a huge equity edge against his range and since we can't be certain he doesn't spazz 3-bet some combo draws c/c seems slightly better. Also if a diamond falls on the river it's pretty gross.

OK, I might have been overly pessimistic, especially since my hand is very underrepped. I just don't typically expect someone to 3-bet combo draws or 9x there Any reasons why you prefer c/r on flop apart from being able to 3-bet turn? What flop textures do you tend to delay sometimes. More like Q62r / 832r ?

Definitely 832, basically I ask myself "would I always peel here with the worst hand I might have still in my range?" and if so I delay. Note that this is against decent villains, against fish with good reads you might want to jam flop because they are spewy and not worry about balance at all.

Basically agree with DD with C/R'ing the flop and why. Another thing is I think there are a reasonable amount of turn cards where villain might decide to check back part of his range like a 3rd
, K/J/T. We are also probably semi-bluffing this flop a lot, where as we probably don't semi-bluff a flop like 832ran much, if ever.
As played, I call down. I've seem some aggressive rebluffs in this spot before because i think villain puts us on a 1 diamond hand often.
