Postflop looks fine to me.

The flop call looks dubious to me, considering you may be dominated and there are two still left to act.

i disagree with random as i dont like how you played any street. the preflop cold call is reasonable, but id prefer 3betting. youre getting 9:1 on the flop, with approximately 4 outs, with the possibility of getting raised behind you. not too good. id prefer raising here rather than calling. id rather raise on the turn than call here if you think there is a chance you can take the pot down. on the river i think you need to raise. i dont think there is a reason to call the flop if your plan is to call down the rest of the hand without semibluffing or raising when you connect. youre just giving your money away in the long run. unless you were planning on bluff-raising the turn, but declined to do so after you picked up outs, the whole hand is a longterm -EV. you are chasing with incorrect pot odds, and you didnt give yourself any bluffing equity or implied odd equity. this cannot be a winning strategy. did you just call the flop for metagame considerations? if you did then i think you need to mention that, as analyzing this hand is pretty irrelevant if that was your intention. if your goal is to make long-term EV on this hand in particular, then you failed.
