Fold preflop. This hand is crap when played out of position.
Fine on the flop.
1/4 pot on the turn, or check it with plans to 1/2 pot on the river since this is how somebody with nut boat or quads would play it.
Obvious check-fold on the river given the action on the turn.

I don't like betting a low wrap like this when in middle position, especially on a 2 flush board. I'd prefer to see the turn for cheap and see what people do then. I'd almost prefer check-raising the flop to straight out betting it. I don't like the turn bet at all.

The top gap in your small card run really marginalizes this hand and I wouldn't like to be playing it anywhere other than in a free blind or possibly in late position. The one exception to this would be in a raised pot heads up against someone marked with A-A-x-x that will overplay their hand on small card boards.

The flop is a decent one for you, but by no means stellar. You are really only in good shape against a naked set. You could be totally dominated by a better straight/flush draw. Thus, you really need the field narrowed. Leading out isn't going to accomplish this. So, if you are going to commit to this pot, I would go for the check/raise to push out better straight and flush draws. You are screwed if someone has a better straight and flush draw, but thats life.

As played, I don't really like your turn bet. Most often, the nut boat or quads is going to make a small bet here, like 1/4 to 1/2 pot. These smaller bets will help get your boats paid off when you have them and save you money on failed bluffs when you don't have them.

Once you get called on the turn, it is time to go limp, especially out of position. So, check/folding the turn is a real no brainer.

I would play this hand preflop, especially in position as you are. Bet on the flop is fine. No need to bet the full pot on the turn as if you had a full house you wouldn't be worrying about giving a cheap card; you will fold someone who was drawing on the flop. Give up on the river.
