OK, I'll have a go at this, hopefully I don't come across as an idiot.

Why didn't you bet the flop? I'd bet the flop for about 300 and call a push, if opp just calls my flop bet I shove the turn.

As played, I think you have to cry and get the rest of your chips in on the river considering the pot size and how little you left behind.

Bet/call shove on the flop, shove any turn if he flat calls flop.

I'm open pushing the river here, but as played, I don't see that you are ahead very often. This screams flush.

I think ur good here alot unless,

As played I call river. You underepresented the strength of the hand heaps.

Surely the limper would have bet this flop with a flush draw/K. The only problem I could foresee is him slowplaying a monster that he's limped in on.
