So why even post this?
You said he is 34/19 and you stacked him multiple times. Of course putting a raise in given this description is the correct play, but you seem to have had a reason not to.

i meant checking the flop and turn. the river call is obviously debatable but i thought a PSB from him meant either top set, a straight, or air. and the stacks are such that i pretty much have to shove if i want to raise, and i think it's a bit more than i'm happy getting it in for with this hand. if there was only 250 behind or so, id just shove it in
