My biggest concern is the turn and ravine play. Too weak? Standard?

Yeah you gotta bet the turn. In some sick cases you could go with turn check-raise but that's against good players with good read. Check-call is bad.

These guys don't look like they are going anywhere and with just two opponents, you can't bet for value, so I see no point in betting the turn.

I think the river is a pretty easy call. Villain will have a 9, pocket pair or a busted draw a lot more than 8% of the time.

You must bet the turn still.

Turn bet sucks. I play this hand more straight, but i can see a 3-bet pot tieing and being good.

I know you have a huge draw, but I still ike playing it more passively on the flop when I'm out of position in a 3 way pot. I'd just call the flop raise.
