I wouldve bet the flop for 1200-1500 In case a limper was holding an ace

as played I"d end up check calling small bets too but fully expect bb to turn over the 5 or rivered straight

don"t think I could re raise pre after 2 limpers with a weak hand oop in case I got reraised

I would have bet the flop 1500, and evaluate my hand. As played, then you are always calling the river.
