When should I accept I'm beaten?

Did I really misplay this? I think the river bet is stupid having reviewed it

Total pot: (34.00 BB)

[bholdr]

not re-raising on fourth is a big mistake that probably cost you the pot; Since seat 3 is raising into a couple players that have shown a lot of strength, you have to give him credit for the set, and fold on fifth.

by putting in another raise on fourth, you force him to call two bets, which he can't do with a pair of treys. you are either very slightly behind or comfortably ahead on fourth (unless someone's rolled up), that's the time to get the money in and other players out- remember that the key to winning with big pairs is eliminating as many opponents as possible.
