Default A3 flops two pair from BB

This might just be a simple hand but I never feel real comfortable flopping two pair OOP in multiway pots. Generally I play them pretty aggressive from the start and routinely bet out around the pot. I normally bet 600 in this spot but this time I guess I made it 450. Anyone go for a check-raise on the flop? Different bet amount? And what should be the plan for the turn here? Again, it might be a standard hand but I was just wondering how others might play it. No reads btw.

I like the flop. Betting out here disguises your hand nicely. The bet size is fine too. I think its extremely unlikely he has a 4 here on the turn so I continue to pound away. I'd bet 1k here probably.

The bet on the flop is alright, although i like betting 500-600 on the flop. Turn make it 1100 or so and value bet a good river. If you get raised, MAYBE consider folding.

OK, might as well include the rest of the hand. I bet 750 on the turn which even at the time I knew was too small. I don't remember what crossed my mind to make me do that at the time but I remember I hated the size right afterwards. Anyways, CO calls again and river is 8 of diamonds. I bet 1000 now (good example of blocking bet?), CO raises to 3500 and I fold. I regret not betting the turn bigger but any other comments? River OK?
