Re: mistake by not raising?
2. Do I need to protect my hand on the turn and/or should I be value betting it.
I agree with the poster who wants to draw for free at the boat.
It's a real tough decision here, meaning it would be read based, but as always in NL, if in doubt fold (Or in this case check)
3. Will a check allow my opponent to make the second best hand?
I think here we are struggling to really know what we are up against, so we don't really know if we are trapping or being trapped and finding out is going to be expensive if we are being trapped.
As to the river, it's unfortunate that we have to decide here.
I think at this level a check-raise bluff is unlikely, so we need to bet small enough that we can fold if raised but big enough that we don't encourage the raise.
We also have to bet big enough that it's worth our while risking the bluff-raise.
On this occasion, it is all so close to finding a value where those criteria are met that it's probably not worth our while bothering.
