Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 raises, 2 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG 3-bets, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls, BB calls.

 Obviously I have to call one more bet after putting two in. But fo you fold to the first raise here, or was a call okay?

Flop: (24 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (8 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls, BB calls.

 This flop isn't terrible. I have a gutshot draw and only one overcard. My hand isn't likely to be best here, but I am getting 30:1 and am nearly closing the action. BB was very passive, wasn't too worried about a raise there.

Turn: (16 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (8 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls, BB folds.

 Okay, I missed my draw and I am almost definitely behind now. But, I am getting 22:1 and I have maybe 4 or 5 outs(four 5's and two 4's, but they might not all be clean.) But even if I only have two outs a call is correct.

River: (23 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (7 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button calls, Hero folds.

Damn, I missed my hand. Check/fold here.
Final Pot: 26 BB

Well, how was my chasing here? Good? Bad? A close decision?

Any advice appreciated.
