What to do? I figure I massacred any chance of me winning this pot on every street but did I go wrong with the call on the flop instead of raising, checking the turn, or firing the river? Any suggestions or ideas would be greately appreciated.

I'd fold preflop, it's a weak hand and you're OOP so it'll be hard to extract value even if you do hit a good hand.

As played, I don't think a raise on the flop is bad, and I don't think 3betting would be profitable given your kickers. I would check the turn and check/fold the river. I can't see opponents getting too out of line in an un-raised pot like this without a strong hand.

kk, I figured he flopped a boat but the turn confused me. And I agree with the fact this garbo shouldn't be in my range in the first place. Thanks for the help

Fold preflop, check/fold river versus most.
