On the flop it is actually a close decision. Of course, you're getting 7:1 direct odds here and the bet looks weak, but he bets into 5 players on the flop and you're not guaranteed to get to showdown cheaply. He may bet turn+river again (and maybe bigger) which means in this case you'd play for stacks with a very marginal holding or fold after donating 150 to him on the flop. So considering a fold here may be a valid option, too. But I don't mind calling either, if you think he'll shut down on later streets often enough.

In this case he checks and I don't understand your turn bet at all. This is neither a bluff, nor for value (you're maybe getting some worse hands like draws to call, but you're definitely behind his calling range).

As played, his donkshove on the river screams "OMGOMG! I have the nuts", so folding is your only option there.

ok -> on the flop maybe call is ok > but i also like the argument he's betting against 5 players.
as played i check the turn behind -> potcontrol and you hand isn't so strong that you need to protect. river is easy fold as played!
