I'm glad this hand worked out so great for you! And I definitely agree your opponent should have made larger raises/bets every single street. But it's important to point out that you are only 22bb effective to start this hand. So his sizings are not as bad as they would be in other circumstances.

Especially once it's a 3way flop, he should be using small sizings because the pot is quite bloated.

I actually also don't really like your flop lead. I think you wanted to find out "where you are at" by betting and getting raised. But if this is the intention, I think you can size significantly smaller, like 15-20% of the pot, rather than 33%. The fact that you are sort of expecting to maybe get raised, and then planning to call a small size, is a bit problematic. The difference between 15% and 33% might not seem huge, but look at the stack to pot ratio now on the turn! It's less than 0.5! So there's less than a half pot size bet left behind. This would be significantly different if you'd bet smaller.

All in all you're roped into calling the flop raise, and the turn bet as well, but by the time you hit your card, there's relatively little extra to play for. So I think preflop was played great, flop was definitely a little questionable. Turn is a must call and the river jam seems fine as your opponent may check back this card, and it's a freeroll, so I don't expect people to exploitatively fold here, basically ever. Nice hand!
