Were my calls on the flop and turn justified?

Will try to give some of my reasoning at the time why I did what I did. I know I made a few mistakes on this hand, but feel some of my calls were very marginal at best.
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, UTG+2 calls, 3 folds, CO raises, Button 3-bets, SB calls, Hero calls, UTG+2 folds, CO calls.

Mainly calling the flop due to CO's raise meaning nothing since hes steaming about the last pot that I took about 12 BBs off him with AK flopping nut straight and him flopping top set and capping every street with me.

Flop: (13 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets, Button folds, SB raises, Hero calls, CO calls.

Took me a while to make this call was unsure if any of my 6 outs to improve were good, also had to fear a 3bet and maybe cap from CO and SB.

Turn: (9.50 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, Hero calls, CO folds.
Decent sized pot easy call still afraid of a raise from the steaming CO. Thought to myself if CO raises and SB 3bets I am dropping my hand
River: (11.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Since I was multitabling I looked at the river and saw it put the gutshot straight on the board and feared if I raises I might get 3bet from SBs flopped straight or higher set. I'd have a tough time calling the 3bet with bot set on this hand so I said why not just call down.
Final Pot: 13.50 BB

I was at the table, actually involves in the hand somewhat. Ordinarily I don't call PF here because as you said CO was not happy, so I'd expect it to be capped. I think the rest of the play is marginal, but given the hands that I presume were out I think you had 6 clean.

I am guessing you were the button? If so my idea of you trying to iso reraise was correct.

I had KQo, so it wasn't awful, but I figured some dead money never hurt.

one thing about this hand is SB's range is really, really wide. That's where I don't know if you'll always have 6 clean outs.

yah which is why I was unsure about every street and why the river really made me unsure if I should raise or not. I def was surprised at what SB had. I like how he played it but if he had been more agressive I would have folded PF.
