My thoughts, for what they're worth? His re-raise on the turn was -ev and he got lucky.. It did make me mis-guess (read would be too strong a word) his hand to 9t, but not with enough certainty to raise the river. Your play seems staight-forward.

im relatively inexperienced at limit, as i stick mostly to sngs, mtts, and HU NL stuff, but i dont think i played the hand badly, just wanted other opinions on the matter. holla

Use the hand converter to make hands easier to read.

About the actual hand, unless the guy is a total donk (which he appears to be from the results), I find it kind of hard to be willing to call 2 more BBs to see if my TP8K is any good. But this really depends a lot on reads. Assuming you'd played with this guy for awhile and seen him pull other crap plays like this, it's an easy calldown.
