I'd just call turn with this hand because it doesn't improve to hands that wants to put in a lot of money, and I would rather XR a small FD before this hand and even those isn't that great to XR.

I think you are getting called a lot OTT... and when a river like that comes you pretty much lost imo... I would call OTT, keeping the hand simple... also, you got the odds to call effectively

Flop - Either call or Check/Raise are fine. Personally, I almost always Check/Raise this combo as players are likely to make mistakes against bets and raises and they cannot make any mistakes versus a call.

Turn - You are getting immediate odds to call here so you have not incentive to Check/Raise. Raising is slightly losing money but near break-even while call is printing money.

River - Bluff is good but should not have got here.
