Should I have bet on the turn? I was lost after the flop bet...folding the flop seemed weak to me with no overcards on the board.

I was playing scared, in retrospect I should have given more weight to the flush draw than a possible set? After betting the flop, am I committed on the turn? Should I have pushed the turn, or just made another bet?

I'd shove the turn here myself. The flop bet is strange, pot sized exactly. I see people do this with TP lots as they don't know what else to do. This could be A7, a flush or straight draw or depending how cautious villian is PF, 88-TT.

M'allin.

As played, a check behind on the river is ok with me, there's a ton of hands he could have and your hand can't stand a river RR with the flush and overcard now on board.

i agree with the others, push turn
