I think you played this hand well, maybe a bit more of a raise on the flop as he just about has the odds to call with a flush draw with overs. If he called like 1450 with no info on him I would proably then put him on AJ, JJ, 66, 88 which would then raise the question of why didn't he rr to push the flush draws out.
As played tho I would leave the flush draw in his range and maybe 910. I would expect a rr from him with AJ, 88 or 66 maybe JJ (but alot of people slow play big trips too tho).
I think on the turn when he rr'es leaves his range at JJ,AJ,910,77. The problem is he leaves it too cheap to fold here for me so I would still call.
On the river I would have discarded all chances of a unmade flush draw except the 910c. I think by now you'r only winning to AJ or a doubtfull KJ or QJ. The other hands I would put him on now are the JJ,910,77,66,88 which you are easily losing too, so I would fold here and still be in a decent position.
I would play this hand differently with info on the player, but untill I know differently I normally think as all players as pretty solid players until they show me differently.

flop sizing is fine imo
on the turn, you could possibly get away from the hand because i dont really see what he calls flop and min raises turn with that you beat. i dont think he ever does this with AJ.
so folding turn is tough but possible, but i think a check fold on the river is the correct play, i doubt this is ever a busted flush draw. looks like a set to me

I don't think too many people min-raise on the come with draws here at this buy-in level so your turn spot is a fairly standard WA/WB spot (way ahead/way behind) and it's where your decision needs to be made.
I don't think it's good to flat the turn min-raise since you'll be check/folding to a lot of river cards without knowing if your hand was good.
Since we're readless I really think a fold is in order …
A 262 bb pot is rarely won with a single pair and I feel comfortable saying this isn't one of those spots where it's good.
