Unconventional line with bottom pair

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players) BN: $13.06
SB: $24.52 (Hero)
BB: $13.14
UTG: $12.21
MP: $14.44
CO: $9.03
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is SB with 4 5
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.25, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.20, BB calls $0.15
Probably a bit too loose against any decent opponent.
Flop ($0.75) 3 5 8
Hero checks, BB checks, MP bets $0.36, Hero raises to $1.15, BB folds, MP calls $0.79
We have SDV but are mutliway OOP. Any turn higher than a 7 is bad for us. A raise might win it right here as ppl dont float too often in this spot. I have 5 direct outs against overpairs + 10 outs that give me a bd draw + 8 outs to give me an openender if called.
Turn ($3.05) 3 5 8 K
Hero bets $2.32, MP calls $2.32
Additional EQ, I shouldnt have many Kx but I pick up additional EQ and maybe FEQ against middle pairs.
River ($7.69) 3 5 8 K 6
Hero bets $5.87, MP calls $5.87
Final Pot SB wins and shows a flush, King high.
SB wins $18.56
Rake is $0.87

Preflop call is -ev probably almost always. Your raise maybe somewhat okay but U represent a really narow range like just 88 maybe, I assume U call 55, maybe 33 too, but these're also not a great calls preflop. From the turn seems fine,

Preflop has to be a 3b or fold. You have to be a genius to show a profit with that hand in the worst possible position.

As mentioned above much it PF. Calling won't make you money. 3b is questionable too IMO given positions. Unless MP is opening wide and folding crap load to 3Bs Id probably stick to folding.

As played, flop raise seems Ok-ish IMO. Board is quite dry and good regs probably won't give you much credit, especially if you have a very agro image.

T+R fine.
