I've been avoiding pp under 77 utg lately, but decided to limp this one because it was a fairly passive table (avg about 50% vpip).
That said, all the villains that I had any stats on were quite loose >45% vpip. MP1 was new to me. CO was a poor but occasionally aggressive player - he tends to bet air if checked or folded to, but call if someone else leads out.

My thinking was to checkraise, but then I changed my mind and overcalled with so many callers already in. Uncoordinated rainbow flop suggested tptk or (just possibly) a donk c-bet from MP1, the others would call down with an ace overcard.

Now the pot is huge and I have a boat. I suspected MP1 of trip queens, no idea what the other people had. Barring a pair of 8s or some idiotic Q8 hand I'm in the lead so I pushed hard.

I thought about raising, but KQ was definitely in his range and a raise would be spew (IMO).
Thoughts? Should I have checkraised the flop, or possibly checkcalled the river?
