SnG player dips into ring round II

I cringe at my min bet on the flop. I have no idea how to play this. Suggestions for all streets? Thanks in advance.

Either bet the flop big or check.

The river raise sucks, easy call.

Yeah, the river raise is pretty bad. Just make the call for a cheap showdown.

Mind you, when I play at pots I play them aggressivly so I get action so I like betting the flop big - you'll get any jack along for the ride, possibly pushing over top of you. If there's no jack and no one's around with a straight draw, then you were destined to take down a small pot.

Ditto these guys on the river. Your hand has turned to moist shit and anyone who will call that big of a bet will have you beat or you'll be splitting.
