No read on villain.
Comments on all streets would be great. How is the river bet? Is the bet good? Too big? What hands are generally calling me that I beat? Are better hands the only hands that are calling me? What hand would you put the villain on in my spot? Thanks in advance.

I like it pretty much the whole way.
I like the probe/block bet on the flop. Calls probably indicate a weak ace or a draw.
The turn is tricky... I think it took guts to fire a second shell here after getting two calls, but unless you're up against 54, the 8 is not especially likely to make anyone feel that much better. Half the pot is a decent bet here.
I really, really like the river bet. Many players here would make a small bet they would hope would be called, which is often right in tournaments, but your hand is so well concealed that your opponent need only call this bet every once in awhile for you to profit. You're getting called here by any straight, and perhaps also by Aces up that thinks your big bet represents a weaker hand than you have. If he has a bigger flush, ghe has a bigger flush, and you were losing all your chips anyway.
I like it.
