I don`t really like how I played the hand, but I am not sure what are the better ways to play. On the flop it is obvious reraise, as I have many draws in the range too and I need to raise the top two pairs. I am not sure if I have to bet the turn. On the river decided to check and he bet pretty big but he should have some draws in the range. IS it too bad that I did not call here. The villain looks like normal player-23/10 preflop.

23/10 seems pretty passive. I would most likely just bet for value on the river and fold to a raise. I don't expect he will raise with weaker. Now it's a tough spot, but without reads with the flush on board I wouldn't mind the fold on his big bet.

on the turn, you lose to flushes and 89s. So you should definitely be pot controlling. Another option is to bet with a merged range with a small size (30% pot).

as played XF River, you only beat AdQ and KdQ and AdK. But you would be better off checking turn to keep their ranges wider
