I don't neccessarily think you played it that badly. You're playing shorthanded, so I think you could justify calling a 7x bb raise with your big suited connector based on implied odds, as long as you're going to be able to get away from top pair. You flopped big to your hand (flush and gutshot draw), so I wouldn't lay it down there, even though he's overbetting the pot by a couple bucks. You're even money against virtually any hand you could be up against except AdKd, so I'd probably raise it up another $20 or so on a semibluff to force him to fold if he has overcards and put him to the test if he has an overpair (with that dangerous of a board he'll likely ditch even AA or KK if he's conservative). I'd be willing to call his all-in here too, because you'd be getting more than sufficient pot odds at this point, not to mention that you're going to have a willing-to-gamble image once the rest of the table sees this play, which is a good thing.
Given that you just called the flop, your roughly pot-sized bet on the turn when the king comes is a decent semibluff, since the K is a scare card for TT, JJ-QQ, and 9A, and he showed weakness by checking (and with that board, I'd think he'd bet to protect his hand with just about any legit hand he could have, even the top set he had). Once he raises you, you're already pot-committed enough to call with your 12 outs. I think I might just lean towards checking behind him here and seeing a free river so I don't have to face the possibility of committing almost half my stack on a 12-outer with one card to come.
