Pretty bad. Personally I would've raised preflop. If called, I would've bet the flop.

The way you played it is too passive for me. I don't like the idea of waiting til the turn to push. All you have is top pair with mid kicker, and a J, Q, K, A could freeze you up. I think it's better just to raise the flop. Most of the time you'll take down the T650 pot (fairly significant at this stage of game) because it'll make SB feel like he's playing for his entire stack. He'll lay down marginal hands and continue with hands that have you beat, at which point you simply slow down.

Also I don't see anyone calling you down with a 7 or weaker T on the river, so I just check behind in that situation.
