Opponent is a regular. About an hour prior I stacked him when I flopped a set of tens against his A-Q on an A high flop, so he may be pissed at me still.

I think it's played fine. I can't see how this is anything other than quads, a draw or air so I would play it the same I think.

{edit: It would probably help to know who the regular is or at least some reads on how he plays.}

If he has one or two overcards and a flush draw, my hand is still vulnerable, so moving in helps protect my hand when the pot is big.

Should I just call and give him the opportunity to bluff again with a missed diamond draw?
