10/20 HU 4bet pot - How to approach this spot?



This hand was played on ipoker and thus the HH doesn't work w/ the RIO converter... hopefully the image above works fine for everyone.

Villian in this hand is in the top 2-3 winners on ipoker this year - up close to one mega in the past 9 months. I say this illustrate the level of player he is and what he is capable of.

At the time of this hand we were about 150 hands into a HU match, he was playing 75% of his BBs and 3betting a very high 35%. He had showed down 84o and J5o in earlier 3b pots in the match so I'm assuming he's 3betting a wide range for value and this is balanced by a ton of polarized trashy hands. I had 4bet a couple times already and I expect him to expect me to respond to his massive 3b range w/ a somewhat wide 4b range myself so he's liable to flat here with a wide group of holdings.

All this said, I haven't played too extensively w/ villain beyond this HU match and can't characterize his postflop tendencies too deeply. As such, what approach would you take to this flop texture? (First off I think I made a major error w/ my sizing here, I think I should be sizing closer to 1/5-1/6 pot and playing a 3 street game or cbetting slightly over 1/2 pot and playing a 2 street game.)

Since I think I'm crushing him range vs range here I thought it might be best in theory to cbet close to 100% of my range on the flop and barrel turn a good frequency as well... I'm think he'll find it hard to punish me w/ too many flop or turn c/r's if I do this well... However since we dominate a good portion of his range (the KQ,KJ, AQ, AJ, A5s, type hands) maybe its best to check flop and bluffcatch? Not having a diamond is a bit annoying for this however.

Given the line I took, can we ever call river here? He likely has an odd dozen or so combos of 2p+/straights that he plays this way (discounted some for not c/r flop and choosing overbet size on river) and some Tx that choose to overbet though I'm not sure all would. He needs to bluffing over 38% for us to call... I think this runout favors his range just a bit too much and its a bit crazy to expect a ton of broadway flop floats to overbet bluff this river but let me know if you guys think otherwise.

Wow sorry for the wall of text!
