SB was running 40/8 and was essentially dead money on flops he missed.
HJ was 19/9 over ~150 hands seems like a tight reg.
BB 21/16 reg.

PRE: I like Prob bigger 2.5 or so

OTF: I like c-betting small as the board hits our range very hard and we will get respect because of that. Also, obviously we protect our equity by betting and will get value from worse Aces and flush draws.

OTT: I don't think we are getting very many worse hands to call and flushes and sets are continuing both which are in his range. Is this just a c/f with the diamonds coming in? Seems awfully weak to me but is he really betting anything that we are ahead of? Probably he isn't betting worse Ax here.

OTR: I really don't see him having any bluffs here. He might be betting 44 or 99 since we can't really have diamonds after checking turn. But obviously more likely he has flush. I think our hand is pretty face up as AQ or AK so that might be enticing spot to bluff, but what hands would he call flop with with two people behind that he could turn into a bluff OTR?

I guess that the plan was to bet OTF and then bet OTT in case of non-diamond card? If so, then the turn card ruins this plan and x/f OTT seems ok..if you called OTT then you shoud be ready to call OTR..otherwise it's not clear why you called..drawing 5 outs with 3-1 pot odds with 3 diamonds on the board?
So, I would x/f ott...yep, akward, but, hey it's poker

Yeah I don't see the point in x/c the turn and then x/f a brick river. Fold the turn or call the river. Since villain called in MP pre and then called your CB with both the blinds still to act, I'd give him credit and probably just sigh x/f the turn.
