Is this too aggressive with a lot of potential outs?
 

Am only interested in first 6 streets with what you think of my play as river was one of the better cards I could have got. No read on seat 5 but seat 8 is a regular who usually has good 3rd street starting requirements but does chase draws too far.

Also, if I'd bricked the river (caught a queen), seat 5 bets and seat 8 raises, can I still call likely 4 bets on the river due to size of pot? I could be up against two highs if that happened or seat 8 could have caught perfect for a low, I think I would make crying calls on a jammed river due to the size of the pot but wondering if this is a leak?

i think it was perfect

Re: Is this too aggressive with a lot of potential outs?
 

Looks fine to me. I might even cap third, but that might be a little overdone with your dead fives, but I still probably do it in the heat of battle.

Your question about the river: I still probably pay it off since the pot is gigantic unless I have a excellent read on the player that I was beat. Against most opponents though, I'm calling this down.

You played it fine. I might be a little more conservative on third street, but jamming is fine.

Even if you blank off on the river, bet it for value. If the other guys go nuts, there is enough chance that both of them are on high hands that you have to call it down.
