Any comments? namas05 is basically a calling station from what I've seen. How could I have played it differently?

I don't think there was anything different you could have done. S/He had top pair plus a flush draw. Villain was actually a favorite after the flop (45% to 40%, with a 15% chance to split), though, you you were a 62% favorite after the turn.

raise alot more or check prf imo.
300 sounds about right,that way u can get your chips in before he hits his flush .
Also bet more on the flop and turn if he is a calling station why not pot it on the flop and stack the turn?

Definately raise more pre to 350ish you'll most likely fold A3s. With your raise you price in everybody else to act behind you. As played bet more on flop and shove turn. Make him pay to chase.

Raise more? 3X the BB wasn't a bad play at all especially from middles position here. The question should be, do you want the call or steal the blinds considering they are very small at this particular moment in time. Even the bet on the flop was good, player just had quite a few outs is all, not much more one can do especially on a 2:1 bet against 5:1 to hit for the opponent.

Granted he hit top pair also on flop, and was on a flush draw.Even thoough it was Ace, rag. He was willing to chase after it and hope to hit it, which he did. Just unlucky for you

Against some people, expecially true in a freeroll, you just cannot protect your hands... they love to chase flushes and straight draws--even gut-shots.

You really want me to open to 7BB from MP? But thanks for the comments everyone, looking back the 250 bet on the flop does seem small on a 2-suited board, especially with 2 callers.

Any way I should have folded that river or is that a bit ridiculous?

agreed

Seems that more aggresive play would have moved them off. You can't help the chasing though don't reward their bad play with an open opportunity.

Yes. Or atleast 6BB(3+3per limper) if your going to raise make a raise that will actualy get some folds and not invite calls.
You will be oop with 3 limpers behind so raising here is ment to get people to fold or atleast get HU.
And your not in MP your in the BB.
