Raise preflop larger (8x-9x). It cuts down on buttons odds for calling in position. Increases our value post flop, versus worse hands. Villain might fold 52% of time, to 3bet from blinds, but he will be calling most of the hands, that open the button, when getting 2 to 1, and playing 120x+ deep.
Good call against 4bet.
Lead flop for value. Villain has many worse hands, that will call a bet, but check back if we check. It induces worse hands to raise. They can think, we are bluffing alot, because most of our strong hands, would c/r this flop.
Check for maximum value. Most hands that will call a bet would fire turn (given read) after being checked two for a second time. Hands that will fold to a turn bet, will fire a bluff. We under represent our hand, play it similar to KK/JJ/TT/KQ/QJ, allow our opponent to put in the most with worse, and reduce losses when behind. Leading turn has its advantages too. Check is the better play to extract maximum value versus villains range.

Fold river. Listen to your senses. After playing 40K hands with an opponent, you should develop, an "in-game" feel. You probably sized up the situation correctly, villain would fire 40-60% pot with worse, and would fire 130%+ pot with better, with high and reliable frequency. Villain probably had backdoored diamond flush (K
J
).
