Here's a weird hand. I decided preflop that I was going to play my hand. I felt I had a better chance of eliminating the field and using position postflop to take it down. What happens post flop is what I'm most interested in hearing opinions about, however also wouldn't mind hearing if you think preflop was too laggy. Also what do you do on the river given the action on earlier streets? I felt I might really have screwed up the turn by not checking behind and keeping the pot size under control in case there are damages I need to minimize (but should I even be thinking in these terms? I'm coming from sng world where pot control and minimizing damages early in the game is key.)

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I didnt convert it because I'm having probs with the converter. I took the game # out because I didnt want anyone cheating on results. Except Setzy who was at the table.

Fold preflop. As played you have to call the river.

What's he calling the flop with? Check behind on turn dude. As played I call the river here, but I'm not happy about it.

Bet more on flop. Check turn. Call river, although I suspect he is trying to set the price with two pair or he backed into the flush.
