is this a bad move?

i think i probably c-bet the flop, but my c-bet's ridic high, so i would say that. you're right to re-raise the turn too most of the time, but as soon as he calls it's a pretty bad omen. King pretty much kills the hand.
what sort of tourny/sng is this?

I call river.

Pre-flop is ok
Flop is ok why cbet if you're just goin to get called anyway
turn is slightly questionable but can't be too wrong but if you raise this turn it is to call the river.

Preflop I think I just call. There are times when I raise but we are very deep. I'd rather play a smaller pot with position; not get 4bet off my hand; not play pots for stacked when I'll be consistantly in tougher decisions.
Flop its questionable whether to fire or not. If either is a calling station I'll probably check but otherwise fire like 1/2 to 2/3 the pot.
Turn, I don't really like. You might suck weak'ish queens into calling but there's very few of those he can have with his preflop raise. The flush draw almost has the right odds to call not even taking into account his implied odds(So if you could fold the river correctly every time he had a hand with two diamonds he would only be making a small mistake by calling.) KQ is probably paying you if you make a bigger bet all the same. What's left really QJ or Qx suited? We're still stacking off to all bigger hands on the turn.
River, yeah, this is why the turn raise was bad. Any diamond, any king, even a 10 and he can shove and you're going to be like "WTF do i do?"

Smooth preflop.

Smooth preflop.

think ur right, ive just inflated the pot so his line on the river can get through i think.

It just controls the pot. I smooth call here with pretty much every hand except QQ/KK/AA. There's no point in 3 betting unless you know this guy raises a monsterous range from that position.

I think a smooth call makes decisions a lot easier at later stages
