Stacks:
UTG ($165BB) 165bb
UTG+1 ($121.4BB) 121bb
CO Hero ($117.8BB) 118bb
BTN ($138.4BB) 138bb
SB ($96.2BB) 96bb
BB ($108.4BB) 108bb
Pre-Flop: (1.4BB, 6 players) Hero is CO 4♦: A♦:

UTG raises to 3BB, 1 fold, Hero calls 3BB, 1 fold, SB calls 2.6BB, 1 fold

Flop: 3♥: Q♦: 5♥: ($10BB, 3 players)
SB checks, UTG bets 3.2BB, Hero calls 3.2BB, SB folds

I think I can call with a backdoor FD and a gutshot IP.

Turn: 2♣: ($16.4BB, 2)
UTG checks, Hero bets 10BB, UTG calls 10BB

So I hit what I wanted to hit and he checks. Its definitely a bet, the question is what sizing to use? On a FD board I dont wanna play with smaller sizings. Actually maybe I could have betted even bigger? Its NL5, people are calling too much and I dont really want to give him a cheap call with a FD.

River: Q♠: ($36.4BB, 2)
UTG checks, Hero bets 12BB, UTG calls 12BB

This is a very good card for me. The FD misses so I have most likely the nuts. I dont think he has the Q. What Queens he has in his UTG opening range? AQ,KQs,QQ. Those dont check the turn. So I assume he has a missed FD or hands like JJ, TT. If I bet big he doesnt call. So I rather bet 1/3 to get call from the TT,JJ and maybe to induce bluff from that FD.

Final Pot: $60.4BB
UTG shows
7♥: 7♣:
Hero shows a straight, Ace to Five
4♦: A♦:
Hero wins $57.8BB (net +$29.6BB)
UTG lost $28.2BB
SB lost $3BB

Fine calling on this flop, could consider raising to balance our value-range. A solid nut-flush backdoor + gutshot is enough here.
I think 2/3 turn 2/3 river. He could easily have a Q in his range here and I'm not sure why you bet small; if he was to have JJ / T's here he's probably calling.

I would 3bet preflop, but it depends on your ranges.
OTF personally I would raise here, because people usually in MW spots if they hit, then go ahead and bet at least 2/3of pot, so most of the time they will overfold on your raise and this board really doesn't hit the small blind range, he has just 33,55 which he should re-raise.
OTT 2/3 of pot is fine, but can be too little bit bigger he should check Qx hand because of pot control, some FD or any other showdown value.
OTR: well, that's quite tricky, but don't overthinking at NL5 I don't think that people will check/raise river with busted flush draws on smaller sizing. So just go for value and 2/3 sounds reasonable. Or maybe if he sometimes check T with Qx then we can try overbet OTR, but I am not sure about it. (Maybe we can do the same with some busted FD to balance our bluffing range and produce tons of folds against pocket pairs or any other showdown value)

I am not a fan of calling preflop here. Either fold or 3B as a bluff.
Postflop is fine. I would bet a little bit bigger on turn and river.

3 bet pre flop I like in this position. The call on the flop is fine. Probably like everyone else would have bet 2/3 on R.

I don't like call pre-flop, everything else is just fine.Good thinking process on river.

raising flop here
as played I'd definitely overbet, something like 49bb seems good
You rep almost no value hands and it'll be really easy for him to herocall ya

I don’t like the preflop call. If you know UTG has a very wide range, 3bet. If not, you need at least 2 Callers for a profitable call. So pf: fold.

Your flop call might be correct, but your reasons are wrong. Your Overcard and Gutshot outs are tainted. A♥:, 2♥: are dangerous. If you play for odds and outs: fold. Your opponent has missed that flop, so a raise could be correct.
