Default Am I scum?

Here is a hand i played last week which I would like some opinions on. I had only been at this table for a few minutes, no reads on anyone.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed)

UTG <font color="purple">(Villain1)</font> ($$100)
Hero ($$97.90)
MP1 (nobody2) ($$35.70)
MP2 ($$109.80)
MP3 ($$43.55)
CO ($$71.95)
Button ($$36.30)
SB ($$111.85)
BB ($$37.95)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG <font color="purple">(Villain1)</font> calls $1, Hero calls $1, MP1 (nobody2) folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls $1, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($5.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players) </font>
SB checks, BB checks, Villain1 bets $3, Hero raises to $6, MP3 folds, SB folds, BB folds, Villain1 calls $3.

Turn: ($17.50) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
Villain1 checks, Hero bets $8, Villain1 calls $8.

River: ($33.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
Villain1 checks, Hero bets $15, Villain1 raises to $35, Hero raises to $55, Villain1 folds.

Final Pot: $123.50
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: $103.50, won by Hero.</font>
<font color="#990066">Pot 2: $20, overbet by Hero.</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero shows Th Ts (full house, tens full of sevens).
Outcome: Hero wins $123.50.
Yikes! Sorry EDIT: Villain later reveals he had the flush and a Queen in his hand.

At the end of this hand, the Villain went off on a bit of a tirade about how he couldn't believe how I chased that hand, I'm a retard, etc. etc.

My thoughs are:

He made a weak bet after the flop, so I'd raise him and try to take control of the hand. Yes, my raise was as weak as his original bet and probably should have been more. If he raised me back at this point, i would drop my hand. For this particular hand, I decided to play more aggresive. I'm not going to check my medium pocket pair EVERY time i see an overcard on the board.

On the turn when I bet and he just called, I figured he had to be on some sort of draw.

The 10, unfortunately for him, made his flush and my full house. I'm guessing the only reason he folded to my bet was because it was a weak flush.

I wonder why he was persuing a weak flush especially when the board was paired?

At any rate, how would yall have played this hand differently? I still think it's difficult to call me a chaser here when *I* was the one betting and the villain just calling.

Thank ya!

PS He knew my hand b/c i revealed my cards at the end..I'm not sure why I did this..maybe to show him the legitimacy of my hand? I realize this was a mistake. I *rarely* do this.
