Had I ever checked that flop I would have played the rest of the hand the same way you did because you took your self out of control of the hand.

Had I bet on the flop and got a call. I would definately have pushed that turn. The river would be irrelevant.

In the long run, I think you lost the most possible on this hand, rather than the least. Given the money basically went in before the river card. You lost money all over the place by not putting money in while you were ahead.
