I had time to ponder this hand last night, and I recall feeling like the “hand was getting away from me” and I needed to shut it down now. I am disturbed by that because I also believe that thinking along those lines has been my biggest leak in the past.
All that being said… is there a better line to have taken here post flop?

I think I'd check the turn, as it's generally a bad one for your range. You probably have few if any 4s in your range and just a couple combos of 87, half of which will also have flush draws. You might be better off just not having a betting range at all on the turn. If you do choose to bet this, you need to think about what you are representing and how you would play that hand. This is a pretty ideal bluffing candidate to balance your value range on the turn, I'm just not sure you can/should have one. Would you check an overpair?
would I have checked an overpair on the turn at the time I was playing this hand? I would have shoved 77 or 88 to be sure, probably shoving 99-AA.
Should I be shoving an overpair on the turn? I think not for the same reasons as before. I dont think I should be “trying to conclude the hand” but rather looking at the 4 as a horrible card and checking an overpair to get to the river as cheaply as possible.
(I would, however, still be willing to shove a set on the turn. Too bad I did not have one.)
