I couldn't play this any more aggressively

I couldn't disagree more. You only raised a touch more than what's in the pot ($100 raise v. $75 total blinds). You invited loose cold-callers and pretty much got what you wanted. You then bet $50 on the flop into a large pot on a fairly coordinated board. You did not play this aggressively, IMHO.

Anybody play this differently?

Yes. In addition to my comments above, I'll say that (given the small raise you made to open the hand) you should have pushed all-in when it came back around to you pre-flop. As you can tell, I'm not giving you a lot of sympathy on this hand.

By the way, posting hand histories rather than putting a hand into narrative format isn't a good way to generate a lot of replies. It is difficult to read and not very user-friendly.

Sorry, this was a limit tourney so I couldn't go all-in.

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't realize it was a limit tournament until you pointed it out. Again, that is primarily a function of the form in which you posted the hand. Given it was a limit tournament, it looks like the only thing you might have changed would have been to check-raise the flop. With the board being coordinated, I'm not sure risking the free card would have been the best of moves. So, in short, I think that was just a situation where you were destined to lose.

By the way, not to pick on you too much, simply adding suits to a copied/pasted hand history doesn't do much for you. Look at the way Clarkmeister, vehn_, and others post their hands in the middle and low limit forums if you want a guideline for how to post a hand so it's easier to read.
