UTG + 1 is a fish, Button is neutral/passive, no reads on the blinds.
This is probably pretty aggressive on the flop, but I'm thinking top pair might be good here and 3-betting right behind will help me to isolate, plus it's probably for value.
When the turn 2-pairs me, I felt obligated to value-raise again.
The river T is sort of scary, but the way the hand has been played, it seems to me like it's going to complete a smaller 2-pair far more often than it's going to make a straight, and there's a good chance at least one person has a busted flush draw here who might call down with a pair. It felt like a value bet again, but should I 3-bet to punish smaller 2-pairs at the chance of possibly losing to a straight? The only hands that reasonably beat me are AQ, Q9, or a set. Sets would have re-raised me on the turn, and TT would have been scared away by the action long ago i'd think.
So would you 3-bet this river, and was I possibly too aggressive on previous streets?
