Intending to fold to a shove on the river, if one materializes (can't imagine this would be anything but a Q), probably call a minraise (figuring that's a pocket pair > 8s or an A-high a decent percentage of the time, or maybe a J). Does this seem reasonable?

I wouldn't lead this flop into 3 callers (unless i had 88 or a Q.) As played river block is ok against a bad villain, although any decent player will put u on at least an 8 after u pot the flop/check turn/pot river...that line is very strong. I'd bet 150-200 with the intention of folding to any raise (including a min-raise.)

5 ways i'd just check/fold the flop since you have a low equity hand (already not that strong and no easy means of improving). Turn and river are fine as played.

Check-call river. You make more money by snapping off bluffs than you do by betting IMO.

OK. River is fine.

I think A high and K high check behind on the river a lot so I like the bet and I think it is likely that at least A high would call.
