Bit of a wierd one this. I know that betting with the best hand is the right thing to do and I do pretty much 100% of the time but looking back at this hand I can't but think I missed out on extracting extra value.
I guess with top 2-pair I am can draw to a full house though not as easily as he can make his flush. I am fairly sure I had the best hand after the flop and if he was on a flush draw wouldn't he have bet out on a semi bluff. I suppose he could be slow playing a set of threes but this is surely unlikely!
What do you guys think and what would you have done in position after the flop?

EDIT:
Just one extra thing in case someone suggestes a smaller bet. I believe the bet size to be pretty much irrelivent. All my c-bets are either 50%pot if I miss and decide to bet or 100%pot if I connect and decide to bet... plus 1/4 or the time (if my first card is a heart) I do the opposite. This gives the impression of pretty much random bets (7:5 ratio) while at the same time betting an amount that gets people wondering and confused (not 2/3-3/4 like everyone does) AND means that my average C-bet when I miss is 62.5%pot, and when I hit its 87.5%pot. I like it!
