This hand had me steaming for a few reasons:
1. I was in good shape and it was right on the bubble
2. IN the hand I felt I was doing ok, but then straight afterwards I realised how dumb I played it and basically threw away a cash.

Ok the things I did that made me steam:

1. check the turn. I was trying to keep the pot low but when I looked back saw that the pot was so big already I shouldve been shoving at it. I guess I just wasnt paying enough attention to my stack/pot.
2. When the river paired and he checked I had the strange urge to just check it, but then I got greedy.

So would the correct play on each street have been:
pot bet turn
check river?

Let's start preflop: the min raise is AWFUL.

After he calls on the flop I think it's time to pot the turn, you don't want him drawing out. After the board paired I'm not sure why you put out a big bet on the river. What's he going to call with that you can beat?

Pot pre-flop, flop is fine, pot turn, check behind on river. Everything that would fold to the river bet you already beat, and given the action I don't think you're getting a lower full house to get rid of their hand.
