In the hand you linked to, it's an all-in situation, so there will be no further betting.
In the hand above, when you decide whether to call on the flop, you pretty much have to decide whether you want to play for all the remaining chips in the remaining effective stack or not. A way to see it, although it's a bit extreme of course, is to pretend that your opponent went all-in on the flop. If he had done that, would you still call?
The reason is that if you think that he is likely to continue betting on further streets, especially small bets, then you will be compelled to keep calling (as you did). That is why you have to make your commitment decision on the flop.
Note: this hand is a bit on the lower side, but it is generally considered that you are committed to the pot the once you have put 1/3rd of the chips in the effective starting stack in the pot. It doesn't mean that you can never fold after that (for example if an obvious draw completes), but it means that after you and your opp have put 1/3rd of the effective stack in the pot, there remains only one pot sized bet in the stacks. So that will often mean that the rest of the chips will go in.
