Default Re: 3-way river with 2nd pair. Valuetown?

Maybe I am overvaluing the info I gain from BB playing ABC in multiway pots.

The info on BB is not very useful in this hand (usually it is). For example your river decision in this hand is not easy, but it will be helpful with a T on the river.

I like raising the flop, because the range of Oink for BB is little too narrow, we must add some random average hands. We have a small equity advantage with the backdoors imo. The T outs and the backdoor straight are quite dirty 3 way with a lot of RIO (maybe the info given by raising on the flop would be helpfull in this case). We can take quite often a free card or a free showdown if a A or K falls. We win the max when we are behind and we hit something, we have around 7 outs, it happens quite often. As Vmacosta and Oink said, we can't loose much by raising in any case.

It is very hard to know (maybe impossible) what is the best line against the fish, but I would say a raise on the flop can wake up the fish. If we just call, he's in calldown mode and he resumes to watch TV.
