Did I play this the right way?

I'm still kind of new to poker. Can you guy's look at this hand and tell me if I should have played it differently.

Thanks in advance,

I think you should have raised pre-flop.
I like the smooth 2-bet call on the flop, although, after the 3-bet I would have capped....all who weren't going to play would have folded by now anyway.

Thanks for the comments. I re-posted this on the small stakes board.

I would have come alive on the turn. You want to come alive when there's a chance to include UTG and UTG+1 in the action. I think it's a mistake to bend over backwards to keep these guys in for a single bet. They've already demonstrated their willingness to call multiple bets multiple times, and even if they fold you're not crying about it. In this situation I think you would rather they call 2 bets or fold than call one bet.

Raise the turn.

I would have raised pre-flop and then bet and raised at every opportunity from there. Most especially on the turn, I don't want the players behind me to be able to draw to beat me for just one bet. I like to hit 'em over the head with a hammer and not stop unless they make me see the error of my ways.
