I feel sort of ashamed to admit that I'm not completely sure what to do in a hand like this.

In retrospect, I should have raised the flop. I figured raising wasn't going to buy me any outs or get any hands that might draw out on me to fold, but I probably have good equity here, right? The pair on the board scared me off, and i'm a little confused on how much a paired board affects me in this situation.

I think only a better hand than mine reraises the turn.

Even though the pot was huge, the fold on the river facing 3 bets seemed obvious.
