I know I played this poorly, but this was just brutal....should I have raised him on the turn? Or maybe even bet the flop?

So how do you know you were beat here?

And yes at some point you need to bet or raise. This is a tourny and not cash so I don't think slowplaying is smart. I would have bet that flop and raised the turn if he led. I am going broke with top set here, but do it before the river.

The flop check is not too horrible but the flat call on the turn is not good.

Bet the flop, raise the turn, call the river.
