Squeeze should be a little larger PF ($0.33-$0.35ish IMO).

Bet flop.

Pretty much what james said, bigger pre especially since you're in the SB.
Checking flop doesn't make any sense, it's hard for you to be behind at this point, but also you don't want a turn to come 4-way. Only overpair that you can make a case for checking is AA with the A of clubs imo.

What river call? Isn't mp villain all in ott here. Bet flop. Plenty of worse hands can call. Turn is ugly but villain has some fds, your getting about 3-1 and there isn't many Js in his range with 3 accounted for so maybe you should be calling off. Not sure tbh.

Pre needs to be a little larger. As played bet flop or check/shove flop. Again, as played, if you're saying he's a fish, then getting those turn odds you need to call.

c/c might be the worst option here OTF... if u wanna mix in some checks, might wanna do it w/ AA etc...

bigger pre and c/r or cbet the flop.

Gross turn. Probably making an exploitative fold here

Also like others have mentioned, you gotta bet the flop here man! If you want to protect your checking range this is an opportune spot to make a check raise. Just calling with the top of our range is really weak unless you had like JJ tbh and even then there's a flush draw that I'd like to have paying to draw. Checking and giving up a free card would be horrendous here.
