In almost 45 minutes, it was the first hand I played, I folded crap the entire time...and the one time I got my hand, it hurt. The 4th diamond on 4th scared the crap out of me!

Was checking on the flop stupid? Even though the diamonds had me semi-scared??

betting any amount on the flop basically commits you, i'd probably push there to hopefully end the hand. as played, i think i'm going into c/f mode once the turn hits. if you were going to push a diamond turn you would have been better off pushing the flop.
Wtih the action preflop it is hard to give this guy credit for a floped flush i would think more along the lines that he had a pocket pair with that being said you probably should have bet the flop and forced your opponent to fold or make a bad call drawing to 2 outs
when someone makes a pot-sized raise in 3rd position at a full table that usually means a big hand -unless you have determined this player to be very agressive and able to raise with less than AQ- and it was somewhat of a poor play to make a pot-sized reraise commiting yourself- he could have AK QQ KK AA, and you can't fold the rest of your stack if he does reraise- so I would either go all in and really put the pressure on or simply call or even folding is an option (although I wouldn't fold) When the flop came and you had 800 left and there is 1200 in the pot and 3 diamonds on the board, you have got to move all in- he can't call with two black jacks, instead you let him outdraw you on the turn- even though he made a very loose call with 4 diamonds on board. Hope I have been helpful ttyl,
