Not sure about the flop raise here. I was mainly raising to protect versus draws and get the limpers out of the pot - maybe I should have raised more?
Turn seems like a brick, betting for value against draws again.

Decided to check river back since a lot of straight draws get there with the A. Can I bet for value here and how much would the bet sizing be?

If villian is a aggressive a 3bet pre-flop is a decent option as well.
On the small Cbet on flop I would raise as well to get it HU and protect the hand. A 12bb raise would be better with so many players still in. Off course if you face a 3bet you need to fold.
It depends on the villain if I would make a thin value bet on river.
He has only 69bb behind and I would make it around 20bb.
