Opening 33 here preflop is fine,it's a style thing but you're going to find yourself in some awkward c-betting spots vs callers since there is definitly a small % of flops you can really like. In order to be opening hands like this you need to have a very specific idea of what villains who are behind you are capable of calling with in position as well as they're post-flop tendencies (ie what boards are they folding to c-bets, are they passive with draws, do they flat monsters preflop in position etc) Just some things to think about when you open small pairs in MP.
Def c-bet flop more as the part of his range that is continuing to a bet will most likely call a pot sized bet and you want to get some $$$ when your equity is def good against BB's range.
Good job just calling turn
River is interesting. Without getting too much into the math, it's obvious villain's range isn't weighted towards bluffs, but I believe we have enough equity vs his value range to pay off his smallish river bet. Since we only need to be good here 22% of the time we are never losing/winning a lot by calling/folding, in fact it's probably close to 0 EV, but raising can def cost us some $$$. I call and note him up if we are beat.
