SB stats are off due to multiway play mixed with HU play. SB opens, calls, and reraises significantly more hands. Raise First is 77, PF F to 3b is 15. Cbet frequency is high (F63 T60)

Hero fails to x/r this flop. Should he x/r even with no redraw?
Hero x/r's the turn instead, reasoning that he is blocking the straights heavily. Should he not x/r? Given the wetness of the board, does a full pot reraise make sense?
Hero fails to continue lead the river, is Hero missing value, does checking make sense?

X/r flop some of the time, X/C and X/r turns some of the time. Both are good if you can take both lines with some semi bluffs as well, makes yourself tougher to play against and a bit less exploitable.

Yes with the wetness of the board and your really favourable blockers raising to pot makes the best sense, committing yourself against a shove and maximizing value from the huge number of draw combos.

River is interesting and I kind of like your check. You represent a lot of straights when you X/r turn, whilst villain can still easily have hands like sets in his range that are bet/ calling turn so villain could find some bluffs here. Another option is to bet small continuing to represent a thin vbet with a straight to induce a bluff shove but that will depend on villain.

Standard is just c/r flop, c/c turn as played, and bet river. Doesn’t seem like you have the reads or history to deviate from that.
