Gotta lay that down. TPGK is no good against a raiser ahead of you - he's got you beat half the time with TPbetterK, and the other half with a better hand (3 of a kind/2pair)

This was a good flop for you. All limpers meant your kj was probably more than good. Push a pot sized raise in on the flop and see what happens. Chances are good the queen would have laid it down

Raise the flop.

Raise the turn.

Possibly raise the river, but you can get away with calling here.

You need to get your aggression levels up, this was a very weak/tight play, you didn't make one bet or raise throughout the entire hand.

Passive play will get you killed.

Tell me when you did anything other than call in this hand?

Raise the flop, build a pot to take away from them on the turn.

Raise the turn, you're got TP and a gutshot, put the opponent to the test.

If you're still on the river, check behind or fold. Worse hands will fold to a bet and better ones will call.

Precisely.
