Your turn bet is awful. You have a made hand that is certainly best at the moment. If someone has KT oh well.

The two reasons you overbet the flop in my book (which was a good play) in a spot like this is:

1) To charge the many draws
2) To build a pot so that you can push on the turn if a non threatening card comes.

You have a nice pot of T360 on the turn, and you have around T600 behind. You'd like to bet the pot, but since that is more than 40% of your stack this is an easy easy all-in. You have a sweet hand on the turn.

The way you played it, the river sucked. I like the check fold line, obviously you can't call with the idiot end of this straight.
