Is this the easiest call in the universe or am I missing something? You can't raise again on the river against a player who only pumps pots with and shows down the nuts but you certainly can't fold.

Now, what to put him on: It's kind of hard for him to have KX of diamonds here because the Ace is on the board and you have both the Queen and the Jack. Still, he could be defending against your steal with K9 of diamonds or something similar. However, the villain played this in a way that suggests he was waiting for a "safe" river. Maybe he doesn't want to see another diamond fall and kill his 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or maybe he fears the board pairing. Either he's got a flush or he's not a very good player, after all. The thing you have to figure out is, does he have the flush. Although it's pretty hard for him to have the flush here, I think my first paragraph still stands: raising is a bad idea and folding is out of the question.

If you had used the word "nuts" just a little less often in describing this opponent, you could consider other actions but as it is, I think a call is the only sane choice.
