Default Re: Do I have enough equity to bet here?

I think your flop bet was fine, although the decision tends to depend upon the nature of your opponents.

You had 2 big overcards in late position on the flop, and everyone had just checked to you as the pre-flop raiser.

Now if you thought that the other players were passive, then your raising might have encouraged them to check to you again on the turn. Then if you didnt pair one of your overcards, you could check and see the river for "free".

However when you try raising from late position on the flop to "buy a free card", you risk being check-raised by an agressive early position player with a better hand.

In this hand the pot was big enough, that if you were check-raised you still had good odds to call to see if your hand improved by the turn.
