I didn't check, I did a favorite play of mine in that situation - mirrored my own flop bet as if on auto-pilot. It often confuses people and gives me a chance to find out for cheap how much he likes his hand.

There's almost no way of knowing whether or not you folded the best hand because you played a bit too passively on the flop.
My opening bet was pretty aggressive - you think I should have re-raised him on the flop? I thought the fact that he went out of his way to raise me there showed he could be on a set, and I didn't want to push the hand much farther than that. In those situations I usually like to call, then repeat my flop bet on the turn and see how he responds. A big raise on the turn means strength; a flat call means a draw or a hand that's not invulnerable. Or even overcards like AK.

I guess my question is, is it better to re-raise on the flop for further info, or do what I did (call/bet the turn), or ?? I'm comfortable with the fold... I read him for a set and he said after the hand that he had pocket 9s. I'm inclined to believe that.
