You played it fine for the most part. I would have made a much larger turn bet of around $15. He was a donkey for sticking around and trying to catch his 8 high flush which often times will be no good even if he hits. Where it mattered you got unlucky, but in future hands make bigger bets of 60% the pot at least.

$6 in pot preflop
flop: leads out for $2, gets another caller before it's your action to make it $10, so bet that amount, about $9-10
turn: bet 3/4 to full pot again
river: great check behind as played, he chased and you didn't reward him any more. you knew what he had and didn't make his play on previous streets by checking behind.

In answer to your question... it depends...
