Default Expensive J10s

This hand was hotly debated by my friends so any input is greatly appreciated. The hero's play was highly situational so sorry for the long descriptions and if decisions are obvious.

20-40 live 10 handed. The hero is playing for a while and is confident about his reads.
A mediocre player (MD) open limps in UTG+1. A Royal Fish (RF) raises in UTG+2. RF plays 80% of his hands, raises light, like to lead at the flop with nothing and never folds any street he put money in but re-raises only with stone cold nuts. A tough player (TP) 3 bets in UTG+3. TP is a TAG fully capable of making plays at the pot and isolation raises. It is folded around to SB, a lagtard, who calls. The hero peeks at J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in BB and notices MD having 2 bets ready for a call. Since RF is unlikley to cap the pot will have 13 bets and its 2 bets to hero.

1) Call or fold?

Hero calls as does everybody else. The flop is K-7-5r with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. This is actually a good card for hero b/c AKs is a common 3 betting hand and TP cannot have A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], so the b/d flush, if it comes, should be good. Hero has b/d flush draw and 3 ways to make a nut b/d straight and either Q ot 9 on the turn will give him a double belly buster (8 outs) to nuts.
RF donks, TP calls, SB calls, the MD is ready to fold. The pot has 18 SB and its one more to hero to close the betting.

2) Call or fold?

Hero calls, MD folds.
The turn is 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. RF donks TP raises SB folds. The pot is 12.5 bets and its 2 more to hero. RF will call any raises and re-raises.

3) Call or raise.

Thanks
