Hi and welcome to the forums!

First of all, thanks for using the converter and for not displaying results.

PF: the raise is LAGgy and I like it
Flop: nice bet size
Turn: I fire again. The only thing I'm really worried about now is a T with a bigger kicker. Bet about 2/3 of the pot again. I don't really understand the checkraise. If you are going to check for pot control, just call his very undersized bet.
River: Now that he has called our checkraise, I think checking is correct. If you had bet the turn as I recommended, I would bet again on the river. The 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is not a scary card and shouldn't have changed anything.

I am ok with how you played it. I like the raise preflop I do it as well sometimes. I also check the turn to keep the pot small if I am behind but will call a bet, I wouldnt go for the check raise personally, but I dont think its horrible. I think we see a missed FD with his river check
