Default 25NL: TT turns a set, but stays passive?

OK, I'm really new to NL so apologies if anything is blindingly obvious.

First orbit, so no real reads.

I kind of hate the way I played the whole hand, but I'm now thinking that I'm just too worried about being passive.

I don't see any value in raising the turn or the river with the 4-straight and 3-flush on the board, but I also didn't feel that I could fold such a strong hand to such small bets.

But should I be raising the flop? In limit I raise that flop all day long - am I being too worried about a big reraise?

Any comments appreciated...

Hmn.... he seems scary on turn and river (or he is the kind of "well, i have the nuts so i'll bet small because i know he will call!".

But it really seems like he has an overpair here. I'm raising turn.

I'm such a tight-passive...... but I HAVE to raise PF. At least PS but probably more.

I also have to raise the turn ~ $10. WA/B

As played, Crying river call when we lose to AK spades.

I fail to see how being WA/WB would force you to raise [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Edit: Besides, you're never WA/WB here. Even if you're behind you still have 10 outs.
