If I have nothing else to go on, I'd say raise more on the flop, like 3/4-full pot. I don't know if you always vary your bet sizes or whatever, but your hand, while very strong, isn't so good that the others can't catch up--in other words, I don't want to be threeway here.

Turn is fine. You have 10 outs to beat a straight or flush and your pot odds are good. Or do you guys like a shove better?

The river decision is tough because you're beating lower sets and two pairs, all of which are quite likely here. I'm going to say he doesn't have a straight because I think your flop bet would have chased out any big cards that made gutshots. But he could play a flush just like this. I think you're ahead enough of the time to call, but it's close. Very tough river without a read.

I think the first problem is the flop. Maybe you were trying to keep your flop bet sizes consistent. But in this case the flop is drawy and there are two opponents. You need to charge them the max to draw. I would bet full pot, and depending on your image, you could consider an overbet on the flop.
Turn card is bad for you, and I think you played it fine. Maybe others will suggest a better way to play it. Reads on button would help.

Bet more on the flop and turn and then you can just shove when he raises.
