QJo from SB, call this river raise? common scenario

[RustyCJ]

no reads, I was new to the table, just starting my 2nd rotation here. I run into a situation like this alot at the river. my plan on the flop was to C/R someone from LP and hopefully isolate, I didn't want to lead out here and get 2-3 callers, which happens inevitably almost everytime.

Bet the flop. 3-bet if possible.

The rest of the hand looks standard.

Why not? Probably 2 out of 3 should have folded. The pot is small. Bet it and let them make bad calls. I call the river too.
