Table was loose/passive preflop. I felt it was ok this time to limp 33 UTG.

I didn't like the check-raise on the river, but surely I'm often enough against two pair here, so call is in place...

What do you think of my flop play?

Looks fine. The only question is the flop smooth-call. Obviously, it worked out as you got UTG+1 and CO to come along too. Also, since SB will be all in soon, raising the flop isn't as much of a priority. If you lost to the runner-runner flush or a higher set, so be it.

I like it. Sometimes I would raise the flop in this situation to try and lose a few customers and often the people behind would cold-call the 3 bet anyway. But other times I would call the flop intending to jam it on the turn and jam/call on the river depending on what came off.
