Hero bets $32, UTG+1 calls $32

I open KTss here bc of fish in SB.
on flop I just flat call bc I kind of knew that UTG+1 would raise or fold. The board being very dry I don't mind to give somehow a cheap turn to the fish.
I thought about 3B on flop but I think I would only iso myself vs better hands.

Turn is blank, I bet 18 only to get a call and have a little less than pot shove river.

I don't think he has AQ in his range. But for a reason that I don't recall I didnt shove river.

I don't think it's a hand strong enough to play like this

How would you play it?

I'm 3betting the flop for value vs the fish. UTG+1 might or might not have a wide range, but if he is bluffing he will most certainly not follow through on the turn once he gets called in two spots.

So I make it 24 to get value from the fish - I think he will call almost all of his draws.
Notice that the 24 are kind of suboptimal when it comes to stacksize-management because we cannot get all in by the turn, but I feel like if we make it 29 or even 32 we'll get a lot more folds from the fish.

If the reg decides to shove vs the 3bet we have kind of a tough decision and you can argue both ways:
- fold:
We just 3bet after the reg raised 3way and the fish called so we must have a strong hand therefore he's not bluffing

- call:
We just called the fish's lead so our range seems weak and we could just try to take a stab with f.e. an OESD because we have great equity in case we're called and we absolutely don't mind getting it in 3way.
Also the number of better hands in the regs range is incredibly small - 1 combo of TT, 1 of KK and 3 of 44.
So if he can ever show up with an OESD himself we have an easy call.

On balance, I raise/call.
