Main question: Should I have raised this flop?
Secondary question: Call river?

Turn brings possible straights, river brings possible flushes
This hand felt wrong on every street, but I thought turning it into a bluff would be worse

UTG raises to 2 BB, Hero calls 2 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold

I think your play makes sense to pot control in position with a set post-flop. It depends on the villain of the hand if I would go for the aggressive approach on the flop. As played I would at least call the river. If you think villain can still call a raise with 2 pair combo's or weaker I would raise for value.

Cheers,

I’d raise the flop, as played I would call river, he could be betting woth an overlair all the way threw and there are plenty of combos of those and we only lose to 4 combos of 98s and some better sets. AT,KT potentially also on his range. River doesn’t bring any flushes

I have no clue why I thought that.

Opponent had ATo, so his play makes some sense, since I didn't ever raise
