Default TP, Flush draw is this basically how not to play this hand?

I am in the money at this point and think I really let one get away from me here. I am thinking that I should have chk/raised the flop bet and taken control of this hand, yes?

In hindsight when I look at his bets it seems like they were a little weak compared to the pot for someone that really had something, thoughts?

if the ck/r was called on flop and I miss the turn should I be thinking I am done with this hand.

I just called because I felt that I had a lot of outs 15 and was getting the odds to call, and hoping to hit. Is this basically the totally wrong way to play this type of hand?

I am so close to completing my game but there comes a hand like this late or one other I posted yesterday that are opportunity knocking and I fail to answer the door.

Yeah that would be the worst way possible to play that hand, I think.

Cbet the flop. You raised preflop, you're heads up, the flop was very favorable for you. So fire again. Doesn't have to be a huge bet, something like 1/2 pot should be fine.

If he raises your flop bet, you push or call if he puts you all in. You're probably the favorite with TP + FD, and unless he has a better FD, you're no worse than 42% equity or so. If he raises your flop bet, you have the proper pot odds to play for everything you have left on your draw.

On this hand the way it played out, I guess you can fold the river, I can't imagine him firing 3 times with anything worse than what you have. Even if he had JT, he now has you beat. T8 has you beat too. So the only had I can possibly imagine you are ahead of here is something like T9s or 99, and you won't see that often enough to call.
