Advanced Play or total misuse of poker concepts?

I agree with most other posters, that's an easy fold before and on the flop, especially before the flop.

However, on the flop, if I decided to play the hand, I would rather check-raise here than call. I believe that folding is still better than either, but between calling and check-raising I would rather do the later, since you have decent bluff-equity against the TAG, some outs, plus a chance that you have the best hand.

You did good on a turn. If you called and proceeded to the turn, betting out seems reasonable, since you would need to call anyways. So you would rather take a shot and see if he could fold him here.

Good job on the river value-beting the best hand.
