Looking for suggestions on how I played this and alternate lines to take

Game 1/3 NL

Me: Stack ~$1200 in BB (Hand 76)
V1: Stack ~$450 UTG (Competent: Less than 3 orbits played)
V2: Stack ~$300 ~ MP

V1 Opens to 15
V2 Calls
Me Calls

Pot $46

Inflection point #1

I will raise here on occassion, and I had in this session, but I don't want to be raising every time. Also I've seen V1 around enough and know him to be competent enough that he's not raising anything UTG that wont call a 3bet from the BB and allow him to be in position on said 3 bet. I don't think raising will accomplish much, and I don't think I should be folding here.

Flop:

945

I check
V1 bets $30
V2 Folds
I call

Pot $106

Inflection point #2 I guess I could check/raise or even lead here, but I'm only repping 2 pairs, sets, and... well my hand. I guess I could get him to fold a lot of better hands (and every hand is better at this point), but I've got a direct draw to the nuts and a BDFD, so I figured calling was best. If I C/R I pretty much have to triple barrel. Leading here could put V1 in an odd spot because he's got 1 person to act behind so he should be folding most pocket pairs that aren't sets or overpairs.

Turn J

V1 bets $65
I C/R to:$210
He shoves
I call

Inflection point #3 This is the most interesting part of the hand. I could check here, I could also lead, and I could also check/raise, but if I check raise my biggest question is the sizing. Any c/r pretty much commits both of us, so should I have just gone all in? Going all in seems like such an overbet... but with my hand maybe that's what I want. To put max pressure on all hands and have ~30% against anything that calls me.

Suggestions?

Hands and runout

Spoiler:
V1 JJ
River 3

I scoop pot.

I think with the price he is giving you I would just call, this is live and it is likely he is never bluffing and I highly doubt he is capable of folding an op on a board of this run out. It's awesome that it worked out for you. I would be sometimes lead any diamond because he will likely check back the river though, but be pretty stationy I would imagine at 1-3

Don't xr turn, just xc. Your value range that takes this line is practically nonexistent so I wouldn't really have turn semibluffs as xr. Your equity against his gii range really isn't that great either, your fd is dominated a fair amount. A2dd A3dd QTdd KQdd KTdd are all in his potential range. Also when you do xc turn, you likely get in another bet on any river that you spike bc your hand is a bit disguised having the bdfd.
