I'm pretty sure it was a set, possibly flush but I doubt it. He thought for a LONG time before calling each bet.

Absolutely no way this is a set. No set plays like this on a draw heavy board - unless you think its a set of 6's which would make him probably one of the worst players around.
No way you fold this. Not in NL. He's check/calling, check/calling and then check-raise. If you really thought he hit the flush/had a set, then CHECK THE RIVER.
And if he does have the flush. You pay him off. You tell him "NH" and realize he's going to chase. In 25 NL Chasing = $$$$ (for the person betting, not the chaser). Let him win that and take the rest. I'm almost positive you have this one won. I like the value bet, but with the scare river card and you being the aggressive one in betting, check if you want. BUT DO NOT FOLD! DO NOT FOLD!!!!!!!!!!
sorry. I really don't think you lost this hand at all... unless he has a flush and you just buddy list him and destack him.

I agree with everyone else. You gotta pay this off. Given the information about your opponent thinking a lot before each act, you have to pay it off.
If he does have the flush then understand his deceptive behavior (waiting to bet or call)
Feels like he hit a lower two pair on the river and wasn't putting you on a flush so he raised.

So what is it about this that should make me call? I don't quite understand
After thinking about it today it does seem more likely that he hit a smaller two pair but what should make me think that?
