As I posted in the beginner's circle, I'm a 10NL player trying to move up to 25NL (properly rolled), but seem to get killed @ 25NL every time I do. I was advised to post HHs, so I'll post a few hands from my last 25NL session a few days ago. Anyways:

I was pretty sure that the pf raiser would cbet the flop if checked to, which is why I didn't lead out. Should I have raised the flop more? I'm normally willing to go broke with sets on monotone flops (barring a read of an already made flush), but should I be, or is this a leak?

It's fine. Hands like this are not where you're losing money.
<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

I agree 100%.

Maybe you should post some stats as well -- it helps, trust me

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

When posting stats, do you guys typically just take a screenshot from PT, or just post the important ones (VPIP, PFR, etc.)?

Euphoricism - Also, I'm pretty sure I played @ a table or 2 (on Stars) with a "euphoricism" a few days ago. Was that you (or just someone that stole your sn)?
