IMO the turn raise is OK to make higher flush draws fold and get value from a trips or perhaps a crazy 8. But i also commit myself by this raise.. How could i have played this hand better?

If you have some history with

If you have some history with the guy with raising turns this could be ok, but generally speaking your line looks super strong I'm not sure I like raising here I feel you are folding out a huge part of his range and mostly getting action from hands that crush you or would give you chips on the river. I like c/c c/c most rivers and bet sizings here to get value out of bluffs and weaker hands value betting, without getting stacked vs flushes/fullhouses.

Especially vs tilt9 iirc he's more than capable of 3 barrel bluffing large

Tx, trips and good flush

Tx, trips and good flush draws all often give you value here (in my experience it's rare that you will fold a good flush draw here if your opponent bets with it, but that's hard to really "know" for sure without playing thousands of games a month, curious if any full time grinder disagrees).Whether the turn raise is good or not depends on the opponent.  Without reads it's fine, the average opponent probably gets it in light enough to be good here.Against less aggressive opponents, you should lead this turn for value from pairs and draws, many of which will not bet when you check (again, against a non aggro).
