Uneccessary bluffing with a strong hand?
Last hand for the day, getting keen again after being without internet for two weeks!
In short, is my turn bet as horrific as I still think it is looking back at this hand? Unless there are specific player dependent reasons, is this always a check on the turn, with a bet on the river if I hit a diamond, ten and probably an ace, maybe if the queen pairs - lean towards calling a reasonable sized bet if a non-diamond low card, or a queen, comes?
At the time I thought I was charging a poor price to flush and straight draws to hit, against a player that seemed to be quite loose (obv I'd wanted to GII on flop originally). The turn bet was a bit big, but only because villain had a smallish stack. If he had full stack I'd have likely bet 1/2 pot here.

As for betting the turn. No, bet is fine. Odds of him having a queen are low given flop action. More likely you are still ahead and a redraw if you are behind.
