I think calling preflop is pretty standard in this spot. You have a hand that plays very well postflop, so why waste it on 3bet bluffing, when the likely outcome is villain folds or 4bets?
On the flop, we obviously can't raise for value. We have solid implied odds against a aggressive villain who is likely to barrel us often, as well as get it in somewhat light. Also given the fact that if we raise this flop he is likely either folding or 3betting, I think call is >>> raise.
On the turn we need 31% equity to have a BE call. I think it's kinda close between folding, calling, and shoving. Given the extra outs we picked up + the likely implied odds of villain barreling the river, or c/calling river, I believe a call > fold. And I agree with Renton that villain's betsizing compels me to call more than shove, as I feel his range is weighted a bit more towards value, which effectively decreases our fold equity, yet increases our implied odds.
