Villain plays 28/20 with no real reads, but I didn't know 1) what range to assign and 2) whether I had enough equity to raise on the flop.

Its not simply how your range does against BB's here, you have 2 other players in the pot to consider.

I like how you played the hand, river decisions are debatable , but we can ignore them for now.

If you decide to just call the flop, there is a good chance CO and SB call as well with their weaker hands. If you raise, CO & SB only continue with their strong hands and BB has the chance 3-bet. Worst case, CO & SB both fold and BB 3-bets. We've now isolated ourselves against a strong hand with only an ok draw, not ideal when the flop started multiway.

Spots like these you need to weigh the chances we can win the pot unimproved if we raise vs the extra money we'll win when we hit our draw if allow the other players to continue with weaker hands on the flop.

Id just call the river. He has 3b out of the BB, his range will be very heavily weighted towards Axd when he leads this riv 3way. He may have TdTx exactly. You may also get an overcall from some lol diamond/pair/whatever from CO fish or get raised by CO with Axd

You average 28/20 isnt leading this river 3 way with KK imo

You also need to consider what BB will b/c on the river here. We dont gain if we raise and CO folds an overcall hand

Flop is whatever, id prob just call given the positions which you did

Unable to do calcualtions as posting from my blackberry.

Flop -I don't think we should raise here, don't think we have an edge over a BB 3bet V MP openraise.
Turn - I would have played the same
River - I like how you played here - I would have played the same. However not sure how correct this is, let look depending on river action
If checked to on the river I think we should b/c - it would make no sense if the BB tried to c/r this river, if CO c/r I wouls suspect he had hit a diamond and wants value
As played (I have trouble in these spots) I would normally play the same. However does anyone know how correct this is, I have seen lower flushs and Ahi about even times - realise this villian dependent but say again an unkwown. I think my play in these situation has largely to do with how I'm running during the seesion

Opportunity to edit timed out. Also as hand wasa 4way to flop, BB dbl barrle folded out SB an d then the BB BGR on the river I would say we are up against an ace of diamond most of the time.
