Turn play seems OK as his betting hasn't exactly screamed he flopped a set. In fact, I'd probably be more inclined to raise here, someone might've had 3T or something on the flop but I'd reckon you're winning with this card more than 50% of the time, and you don't want to give cheap cards with a number of draws on board and a fairly vulnerable low trips. Also, if he DOES have a boat, I would guess he'd re-raise quite often and so you could bail here rather than facing a tricky decision on the river.
There is no reason whatsoever to bet the river.

preflop
i think that it's questionable to call the raise. there are already three people in the pot, so you probably have an A2 out there, and possibly a bigger PP. if you think you have huge implied odds if you hit your hand (doesn't seem like it given post flop play), then maybe a call can be justified. keep in mind that you need to have a 2 and no A and no 3 preferably with a J or a spade draw on the flop to be happy. too many "ands" for me.
flop
based on the desired flop i described above, you completely whiffed. dump it.
turn
ok, you decided to play and probably got the best you could hope for. now what? smells like a trap hand to me.
river
well, you made it this far. two draws hit on that river, so now might be a good time to take a stab at the pot. as i often value bet the river with the goods, i would also bluff with a value bet looking bet (e.g., half pot). your style may vary. if it gets repopped, i dump. honestly, i think that this is the best way to win this hand. your trip 3s might be good, but you get beat by a janky flush or trip Qs -- hands that beat you that you might get to fold. it would be useful to know what villain's fold to river bet % was or simply whether he was a CS or not..

Sitblind and Giggle002 are both manics. However, they both have the sense to fold when played back at.
I am a little iffy on all streets, so comment please.
