Was I ever ahead?

In other words, do you think I should have ditched at an earlier street?

My first response is to smooth call the turn, but then again if I had a hand that beat you I'd be check-raising the turn, so your raise is okay (I still prefer calling though). Flop and river I play the same.

Can you fold here for one more bet - just in case its a lower pocket pair one out of eighteen times?
