 I have seen him around but no notes so I assume he's tight standard ish. I also have a note that I saw him in the weekly Nova free roll. I have not been at this table very long and it's been 1-2 months since I have played with him

If we call what's the plan in general? on brick turns? if a diamond comes? If the board pairs?

Are we assuming that if we call the Button folds and we are HU vs BB on the turn? I don't like a call sandwiched between 2 opponents even with the current nuts.

 unfortunately I did not have a soul read on the button. He was new to me, seemed to be playing too many hands.

but feel free to caveat your line with the assumption he folds.

 I just get it in, having two blockers to the joint makes me not fear a freeroll.

If we flat and the turn makes us the non-nuts then it's a good thang we gots da position b/c he'll play his hand pretty face up.

Ok so HU...given you have the blockers, less likely the same hand/freeroll against you. Since you are only flat calling his bet, you look like you might be on a draw as well.

If turn brick, and he checks, you should bet although you are starting to reveal what you have at this point. If you decide to take a free turn (bit dangerous) and still represent a draw. A brick on the river you could represent some sort of missed draw bluff while holding the nuts.

If diamond comes and he leads, I think you can still flat call to represent a draw, and if the river pairs, you can make a play.

If a diamond comes and he checks, I think you bet/represent the flush, and hope the river bricks. I say this because I rarely see flushes get slowplayed because of the free river seems to always paired the board.

If the board pairs the turn, I think it gets a little tricky. Because this is where the BB could actually check his FH and let you try to represent a FH and come over the top or flatcall to give you some more rope. If he leads, I'll probably fold and he checks I check to keep the pot small to maybe make a call on the river.
