i'd probably say that moving in on the turn would have been a better idea, but i'm guessing you ended up losing so it's kind of a moot point.

On the flop there is ~65k in the pot and you have 59k left. Why is it you are not going all-in? Is there a point in betting 1/3 of the pot when you're probably not going to fold?

By going all-in, you can encourage the others to fold their overcards. It also allows you to avoid being bluffed out of the pot later. If he has a ten, not much you can do. You're pot-committed once you make a raise for 25% of your stack and follow it up with a bet of 33% of your remaining stack.
