Here was my thought pattern:
Preflop I was hoping the raise gets it heads up, then cbet the flop for 2/3 the pot and take it from there.

After two callers and OOP I decided againt cbetting the flop since I don't think it has a great chance of taking it down.

On the turn I figure that I am likely ahead and I am just trying to extract as much as I think that I can.

On the river, I think that I am still likely ahead but if I bet more a 7 or hearts will put me AI and given the wide range I have to call. So I bet less figuring to get the weak stuff to call and the better hands to only have a small raise to pay off.

The part that makes me think something is wrong here is that I have put in 1/3 of my stack with only TPTK.
