The river just killed me as I got the perfectly wrong card for me. I had a feeling of a set or a flush but I just couldn't drop it. Should this be an obvious fold? I did show weakness on the turn so this could be a bluff.

It would have been nice if you could fold on the river to the pot sized bet, but your check on the turn made that very hard to do. I think you would have lost the hand anyway, but the question is if you could have lost less.

I think a turn bet would have helped to know where you are and to slow him down. The way he saw it, you both checked the turn so he knows you don't have a flush, then he bets out big on the river to get a sucker call.

If you bet the turn, and he raises, you can fold the hand. If he just calls, I would think he fears a higher flush, and would probably check to you on the river where you can check also. On the other hand, if you bet again on the river, you could have lost more.
