Default Trouble from the BB in a raised pot

At what point should I have given this up, or did I play it correctly? I know it's ridiculous to be playing this hand when it was 3-bet preflop, but it was always one bet to me, as I was trapped in the middle. I don't think SSH tells us to call even one raise while in the BB with any two suited, but they do say to call the unraised SB with any two suited, and you are "completing" a bet there, as you are doing by calling one raise from the BB. Skewed logic? If it helps my VP$IP was 19.30 for that session of only 200 hands. I know it could go even lower, but normally it hovers between 20-25! I know I have to cut down.. anyway

I bet out on the flop for info and was raised, so I just planned to call and fold the turn if no help, but when he checked the turn, I thought maybe he had overcards only, so when he bet the river, I felt I had to call, even though he probably put me on a 6 on the turn and was afraid of a checkraise. Thoughts?

You should fold this junk preflop for 1 bet every time, even if you are 100% certain MP2 just flat-calls. It's only 3-handed and your position sucks -- unless the flop comes down 994 or all spades, how are you going to have any idea how to play this postflop?

Fold pre-flop. Definitely don't lead into 2 pre-flop raisers with crap.
