Overly aggressive (stupid ?) on the turn; wimpy river???

[MagicRat]

There was something about opponent's play that made me think his re-raises were bluffs. Is my aggression something that will more often than not get me into trouble?? Should I have bet the river even with the straight draw on board??

I think for the most part you played this fine. I ahven't looked at the results yet, but it looks like may be he flopped two pair. Although he probably would have capped the flop if that was the case.

Heads up I would have bet this river and then called a raise.
