It looks to me like BB might have had a busted straight draw, and put in a probe bet on the river to see if he could pick up the pot cheaply because of the three spades on the board. I would have raised only to 60 or 90 chips here and see if he wanted to 3-bet at it. If not, then 30 chips was all you were going to get out of him anyway. I doubt the player in late position would have put any more chips in at this point.

I think your raise was too big, it gave him the information he was looking for, namely that he was beat.

I like play tight in begin of tourney and i dont like limp, but lets analize.
You can bet lower on the river, maybe something around the pot (170~200) in an attempt to extract something.

Don't limp 47s, also since you chose to limp 47s what was the plan on the flop? I mean you didn't bet flop at all (you didn't even try to steal on the flop), so your plan was to what limp 47s and hit the straight flush

Easy fold pre-. Limping hands like this is a leak. Sure, it doesn't cost much when you miss the flop and fold to the first action, but when you get a small part of the flop, which will happen much more often than flopping a really strong hand, you'll have a weak made hand or a weak draw, usually OOP. These are situations that can all to easily lead to bleeding off more of your chips.

this ^
Fold preflop. (as played, bet '100 - 135' on the river)
On the river when sizing your bet... what range do you put villain on that they'd be able to call such a large bet? You want to be 'thinking' about what the other player is thinking (what they're thinking your bet is repping, what they're thinking you're thinking that they're thinking, etc. LoL).

I wanted to see the turn for free! My hand is very weak, but it has a huge potential! I do not want to risk it!
