Preflop. I can call or 3 bet. The BB was calling 39% of preflop raises and I felt that I needed to get him out or make a bad call in a bigger pot.
Flop. Standard?
Turn. Should I second barrel here? There are a lot of 2 pair hands, sets and straights in his range.
River. Should i block bet? I don't think I should call his river bet

3 to 8 from out of position is rather small, especially at 5nl. I'd make it about 11-12.
On the flop I'd like the sizing vs a reg or in a higher stakes game but again i'd size larger here, like 13-14.
Turn, you can comfortably bet fold here, people just never raise your bet without at least two pair and plenty of worse hands will call. I like the size.
River, yeah you should bet or check fold as a general rule here. i'd bet fold again, like 21 or something. You can do highly exploitable stuff like this at 5nl to get thinner value or get away with a few of your chips when beat. You could even bet like 15. There are a decent amount of worse hands that could still conceivably call a bet, and two pair/set was likely to raise at some point.
