Was I chasing?

The good ol' Big Blind . . .

Normally I would muck this to the preflop raise, but there seemed to be enough callers to justify. On every street I kept thinking about folding, but the pot was large and it just seemed to be giving me the right odds. Maybe at some point I should have made a stronger move? Comments greatly appreciated.

I think you are justified at each stage by the pot odds.

I would have made things worse by checkraising the river.
