Default TT hand with one overcard on flop

MP1 in this hand has been calling around 50% of his hands preflop. He seems to have slightly reasonable raising standards, although I had seen him raise with JTs and QJs from UTG and UTG+1 respectively. Every time he cold-called my raise preflop (which was two or three times previous to this), he didn't go to showdown which leads me to believe he either cold-calls with marginal hands that he wanted to call 1SB with or he has accidentally hit "Call $1.00" when he meant to hit "Call $0.50." I had been raising fairly frequently so he might have even been a little titly and was thinking, "I don't want him to push me off a hand preflop anymore." Postflop, he has been pretty straightforward, but a little on the passive side and a bit of a calling-station.

BB sat down fairly recently, but seems kind of weak-tight. He has good preflop raising standards from the two or three hands he's shown down. (Although, anybody can play AA on a drawless board versus no aggression.)

CO is fairly loose preflop and raises very little preflop. He is pretty passive postflop.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, CO folds, BB calls.

I figure BB could be betting with any pair or draw and I don't want to give proper odds to the remaining players if they're on weak draws.

Turn: (7.25 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls, BB calls.

River: (10.25 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, BB folds, Hero calls.

I figured they're only calling my bet with hands that beat me and by letting up my aggression I may make MP1 think that I'm going overboard with overcards and induce a bluff.

Final Pot: 12.25 BB

My main question is whether or not I should bet for value on the river. Comments on all streets much appreciated.

On the river, I think the best play is probably to check and fold to a bet. I think you may get to see a showdown cheap this way and I don't think MP is betting into both of you without something good here.

Nice hand otherwise.

Your line seems reasonable to me.

Flop depends on villain's betting range. Since we don't really know I'd probably just muck quietly as theres still 2 left to act, theres an over card, and we have to worry about straight draw/flushdraw/AKJ coming.

Since you raised turn bet is fine. River is a check/fold though. You say MP1 has been on the passive side.
