Go for overcall on the river?

SB is kinda LAGy 43/18 but over a very small sample. Still, looks like he overplays hands a little. MP is one of my buddies 50/7 but he will fold occasionally. I really thought I was good here, but if I raise MP might fold and I get 3-bet if SB just filled a boat. What do you think?

Also, does anyone raise preflop to bloat the pot with a good mulitway hand?

im sure raising pf is +ev but it does give ur hand away as you cant bet into such a large field oop when u whiff completely. so its close enough that i dont think it matters muhc. you have to raise this river. mp is not going anywhere. he wants to showdown his A badly you can tell. (maybe even pp). i think u have to raise this if hes stupid hes not folding any piece of the board.

I don't know, I think that after he gets checkraised on the turn and then I wake up and face him with 2 bets on the river when the flush hits he's got to know he's toast. Plus, SB may have a boat on the turn already. Still, maybe I should have raised the river. Anyone else?
