As played raise turn if you wanna go with the hand, having said that stack sizes make this awkward.

If you call, Check River.

IMO river bluff is hopeless in a 1/2 game.
Watching good players, turning to many gutter balls into bluffs. Is my knew facination. Generally if they are turning gutters into bluffs (they are bluffing too high of rate).

We block AK a little bit here, and with rainbow board. I am okay with it. But generally don't think we need to punt off stacks to balance in live play.

Online with Huds, whole different story. If you don't punt once in awhile. You are never getting paid off.

However, this is about as good a spot to do it, as there comes. Board is high cards, Button range is wide, we are squeezing a 3rd player, and board is absent of flush draw.

I find when board is 2 tone. Players seem to call raises lighter to protect. But if we are going to do it. Think we need to raise floo, shove all diamond turns.

I just wouldn't get to the river like this. Start by raising PF and see what happens.

It is true that in a 1/3 game, a lot of villains who think they are TAG will limp ATs, so they could think you are a TAG. But villain is showing a lot of strength with his raise-bet-bet line and your line makes no sense. As a result, you are still likely to get a lot of calls because he is strong or because he is confused by your line.

You aren't a tag. No one thinks you are either.

Many players at 1/3 aren't even good at being able to tell if someone is TAG. These are players that probably think a strategy of limping and seeing a lot of flops, and only raising with monsters is TAG even though it's actually really passive.

yeah, that's weak passive. I generally mentally note anyone who open limps in EP as weak passive until I'm given a reason to think otherwise. For OP this is most certainly true. We never get to why OP open limps pf. The reasoning would probably be something like "Well, I don't have AQs+;99+ but I feel this is too strong of a hand to fold." So, your range is instantly narrowed to something like AJo, suited aces and small to medium pairs, with some smaller suited broadways. The rest of the hand plays out poorly because of how face up you are preflop with how you can't rep anything but a poorly played 77 as everyone else has already said.

Flop is 3d
I check, dealer bets 60, I call
River is 3s, i lead out for 110
No, its horrible, no one is taking that line with a set or two pair, I would put you on a bricked Q10, and so would most other competent TAGs. No way a 3 is in your range either.
