Did I botch this hand?

OK Sunday Million... level 3, blinds 100-200

hero: ~9500
villain: ~16000

hero has played a LOT of hands... too loose



Im in late position with TT

4 people limp in front of me including villain who is UTG+1

I thought of raising but with so many limpers and the way the table had been playing i was sure i would get at LEAST 3 callers and would be playing a big pot against many opponents and with TT this could get ugly with overcards etc.

so i decide to just limp along

both blinds are in as well


flop
8s-5d-3h rainbow

checks to villain who bets 600, folds to me and i raise to 1800. action back to villain and he calls

turn
8s-5d-3h-Qs... this is a second spade and puts a flushdraw on board

villain checks


at this point i was putting him on some kind of "pair" hand (one pair/two pair/set) and not a draw... the only real draws he could have would be the 7-6 so i check behind so not to get potentially trapped by a big one and to keep the pot on the small side


river
8s-5d-3h-Qs-Ts

3d spade and gives me a set

villain bets out 1400. i raise to 4600

It looks like your saying you made a flush. If villian is trying to bluff he won't call you but if villian has any kind of flush, even low, then your getting called and just wasted alot of chips. I can't see villian calling your raise without a straight or flush.

UAU nailed it

The raise is bad here because better hands will call/raise and worse hands will fold. You're not getting a small flush to fold here.
