I play this so weak. how do i play this better?

[benneh]

5r 15k guaranteed on FTP. somewhat deep, still 100 til money. avg stack is 16,500.

only have 15 hands with this villain, but he is 20/20/0. i havn't been out of hand at all except for a suckout earlier in the tourney, but that was on another table.

i feel like i misplayed every street except perhaps the river. should I play this more aggressive from the start or was i right to be a bit passive OOP?

PS: where's the FTP tourney converter?

This line is good, anything more aggro and you risk bloating the pot. Your river bet is pretty thin BTW, I'd probably check and give him another chance to bluff at it.

yea, i thought about this after i made the bet. he can push over me with ATC almost and i probably have to fold cause i can't stand that kind of heat, despite it being only 5k more to me. i definitely put myself in a bad position here if he had any kind of hand or sensed any kind of weakness in my bet, which i hated.
