Why would you raise the river? it looks like you are beat

What can you beat that would raise the flop AND continue to bet into two callers?I fold this preflop (not enough money in the pot to make this your drawing hand interesting). Since you didn't, I recommend calling postflop only if your odds to your draws suggest it.

I'd 3-bet the flop in hope of seeing the river for free. Then upon the 10 hitting bet out

This is a play that I should be making more. I'll start looking for opportunities.
