Pre-flop 3betting is a little bit loose. Calling in position multi way isn't to bad I think with a hand that can play well post-flop. Flop play is fine with middle pair and a straight draw. On turn I would bet around half pot for value. On the river I would go for a thin value shove against the BB with in mind he has less than a pot size bet left.

Thanks. Yeah, river shove sounds good.

I also prefer a call IP with this hand.

I like the x on the flop
I like the bet on the turn but would probably go larger.
The river is close, any T makes a straight which is a likely holding for the villain given the way the action went down. If you think the BB will call with a Qx I would bet but otherwise I would probably check back this river.

A value shove would assume that villain can call with hands you beat right?
I don't really think this is the case.

I think most hands we beat will fold and the hands that beat us will call.
