That look okay? I was totally bewildered at the play. The turn bet sucked, but I really expected a set to pump it up and was kind of "blocking."

Looks to me like you were called down my AQ-AT (or middle pair) and a flush draw that missed.
The flop and turn bets look a little weak - scared of a set I assume, but way giving odds to the flush draw guy. Looks like that may be acceptable as it appears that you can get away from your hand easily enough, though if you are reraised on the river here you don't know what you're up against (assuming that the 3-flush doesn't fall).

I think you're bets we're generally wimpy. I would have either bet pot on the flop, or check/raised pot as there's a good chance with so many players that someone will bet, and your hand does rate to be the best.

If they all called a PSB on the flop, I'd consider checking or pushing the turn, depending on reads, and PT stats. If there were any setfarming taggs in this lot then I'd shut down immediately.

In my opinion if you bet the turn at all it should be a push.

Why not bet 3-4xBB pf. As oppossed to 8xBB, this is forcing your c/b to be much bigger and is building the pot unintentially and OOP.
I think this adjustment would of made the hand alot easier.

EDIT:Ignore I read SB as BB, carry on.
