Because the blinds are 10/20 im gonna have to disagree with your play right here. I dont think TPTK is good enough to win an all in pot right now. His call off the flop tells me he got a piece of it, and that Queen on the turn either helped him or didnt hurt him. I think you overbet the turn, putting yourself in a bad spot. i mean you're betting 400$ into a 500$ pot = 80%. i probably would have bet around 250 and folded to a raise.

I prob wouldn't c-bet this flop into 2 callers (even in position.) Flop is pretty dry, so they prob won't fold many better hands (ie: med PP's.) Checking behind also controls the pot size. If u bet a little more on the flop u could prob take the Q hands that u are beating out of his range, which would make playing the turn a little easier IMO. As played, i guess getting it in on the turn is std, but i wouldn't expect to be ahead that much if UTG+1 is decent.

Flop bet too small, turn bet too big (but not by that much.)

PF - fine

Flop - I know it's close but I still bet at least half the pot here..pry 140..

Turn - I may check behind to control pot size and allow villain to bluff the river..

River - call most reasonable sized bets

check the turn.... induce river bluffs + not stack off with tptk is awesome.... as played fold to c/r, you dont beat anything.
