i would raise preflop with stacks that deep

i would play the flop more agressively - with two spades out there your TPTK isn't invincible (and you let in all those suited connectors cheap preflop)

i think you played the turn too weak as well. why are you slowing down here with a call?

the river makes sense - you've almost certainly got the best hand now and you're betting to extract chips, and there's some worse hands that will call.

Raise on the flop. With that many people calling, you need to push some out.

I think u should have been more aggressive on the flop and the turn. That river scares me. I think it would have been safer to just call that river at the end. I definetly would have played the flop and turn stronger so i wouldnt be in this situation.
