If you want an unbiased answer, end the hand history with your raise on the river.

Checkraise the turn if you want to make a move at this pot (and continue on rivers that don't make obvious straights). I'm not sure what your raise on the river was supposed to represent. I'd venture to guess you made a worse hand lay down here 80-90% of the time.

it sounds to me that you were just up against a bad player.

damn lunatic. lol

utter genius. I suspect your opponent was semi-bluffing to a flush, or possibly betting middle pair. I hate his bet and then fold for a raise if he has any kind of hand. I expose myself to get bluffed out of a pot this way if I hold anything, even a small pair or high card. I'll only do this if I have no chance to win a showdown, say a low straight that missed and I feel the Ace might scare my opponent into folding.

I think turn check raise on this card is probably close to standard. Waiting til the river is just letting him draw for free to a pair that will call a river bet.
