How poorly did I play this hand and how would you play it differently?

I cap the turn, you just need 33% of equity. BTN has prolly A4,A7,44,77, maybe 74s. Other streets are fine.

I would just call on the flop and then check-raise the two pair on the turn. I think capping the turn is bad without a read. On the river, the decision on whether bet out or check-raise would depend on how often I reckon the button will bet. You did not give any reads, so I am going to assume you followed your gut and I cannot argue! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
