Okay, no reads apart from the film the other half had put on being complete bs.  I have KK, make normal raise, 3 diamonds drop and get donk bet into. 
I didn't know what to do, call and hate any diamond or ace but they may fire again, if I reraise it would be to say £1.50(sound about right?) and I'm pretty much comitted whatever comes down but may induce a reshove, or do I just shove myself.  If I'm already behind then so be it, right?

Any help on my play or thinking above would be much appreciated.

    Raise to around £1.50 like you said then call the shove/shove yourself on any non-diamond turn. Also call shove if he does it on flop obvz.

    Then win moniez :).

    Do NOT just flat call like above had said that would be scary bad lolz.

    Because at this level you want to get the money in ASAP if a diamond does come it might not give him the best hand but it kills any action you were going to get same for possible staight cards.

    Raising with the intention of getting it in means you are going to get it in almost all of the time as a decent favourite and hence win moniez long term, you WILL be outdrawn here/slash come up against flopped flush/set/2 pair but thats variance.

    I don't like the flat either, especially when he'll prob stack off with so much that we can beat.

    Any pair + diamond, top pair, any bare high diamond etc.

    I don't mind raising to call off, but I prefer the shove.

    at this level theres not too many people good enough to make a pot sized bet here with a flush so i reckon the shove is fine.

    well maybe shoving is best if ye think he shows up with 9x bare Qd etc so much. Not so sure villain would call all 9x if we raise also?

    The way I see it is we are crushed by flush, set,2p. We are a slight dog (basically flipping) against pair+diamond, straight +flush draw, slight favourite against Adx. This is a lot of his range
