Here I flop my flush but solid tight opp likes his hand. I put him on a set or a draw to a higher flush than mine after the flop. Did I play this ok? especially when the board paired on the river?

Thanks for your help guys. I posted these here because I thought they were good examples of important cash game ideas. (How to chase monsters and how to get paid when you hit)
