Default Learning Short Handed-Overcall on river?

Well, I'm trying to learn short-handed after playing full SS forever, basically because the games are better. Anyway, MP just sat down so I have no read. I've played probably 30 hands with button and BB so far this session and both have proven to be loose passive calling stations.

I have two questions on this hand:
1) Semi-bluffing the flop, should I do it here? Against 3 players, I feel a bet will get called here by at least one person so I have no real chance of taking it down right away. Then, if my bet only gets called by 1 or 2 people it isn't really for value. That's why I checked. Is this thinking right?

2) Obviously the river. Overcall in this 11.5 BB pot?
