PokerStars 30/60, 9 handed

Tilting player (TP) limps in UTG. I am pretty sure his goal is to lose all of his money-- he has been capping preflop with any two and doing things like capping the turn with K high or a gutshot. Two callers and a poster, I call on the button with Q/images/graemlins/spade.gifJ/images/graemlins/club.gif, the SB calls and the BB checks. 7 to the flop for 1 bet each.

The flop comes 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif10/images/graemlins/club.gif9/images/graemlins/club.gif. TP bets, two folds, a raise from an OK player and I cold call two with my open ended straight draw straight draw. I thought one of the blinds might call two cold here but not three, and if they were going to call two they would call the very likely TP 3 bet so I could get some more value in for my straight draw.
However both blinds fold and TP just calls.

The turn is the A/images/graemlins/club.gif of clubs. TP bets, the guy in between us folds and I call?

The river is a blank, TP bets and I fold?

How bad did I mangle this hand?

I don't see any other good way to play the hand...
One loco way would be to 3bet the flop, try to knock out TP, then follow through on the turn and theoretically you could knock out the OK player. Maybe he'd fold QT/KT on the turn. I am not brave/stupid enough to try this though.

Flop I don't know if calling or 3-betting is better.

Turn u gotta call.

River what is the chance that your hand is good against TP? Could he have a hand like 78? Should you pay off?
