Tricky cash spot

Ok, here is an interesting hand from the £1-£1 cash table.
First, some background info. The table has been playing rather crazy. Lots of big bets and raises. Several players are sitting deep (3 in this hand, which is what makes it interesting). My image has been wild. I have raised 50% of hands pre-flop, and been extremely aggressive on most flops. I have been reraised pre-flop a couple of times, once I have 55 and call the all in, flipping with KQ. The other time I have T-6 and also call - his AQ doesn't even sweat as the Ace is the first card on the flop. Aside from that, I have got quite lucky... Got it in with on a board of , found myself up against QJ and AA. And hit a 7 on the river. Also got it in with on a board of , the other guy turns over (oops), and I runner-runner two pair.

In this hand I am UTG and I have . I have a stack of £650. I limp. Five other players limp. The BB, who is generally very tight but has been put a little bit on tilt so far today, makes it £15 on top. He has a stack of approximately £450. I call. Next player (app £500) calls. Next player calls (app£75).

Pot is app £60.
Flop comes

BB bets £30. I call. Next player calls. Next player shoves all in for £61.

At this point I'm thinking I've been done. The BB has played this excellently, and when he raises I'm going to have to shove. Though he's not a player I would usually credit with sizing his bets in this way. Instead, he just calls. Now I have an opportunity to shove, with plenty of dead money in the pot. But I call. Like I said, my image is not great here and I wouldn't be surprised if I get called by top pair. Then the next player calls.

Pot is app £300
Turn is

Now the BB checks. Weakness? Should I shove now? I check instead, and so does the player behind.

River is
Now the BB shoves for £400, i fold, and the next player snap calls. Someone wins a £1.1k pot on the £1-£1 table. Mbn. And they say I'm the lucky one.

Before I reveal the hands - should I have taken the opportunities I had to shove? And if the river had been , should I be calling with my flush?

I wouldn't have posted the hand if it had been 100BB, but we were sitting very deep and I just wanted to hear others' thoughts on this?

Given the image you state, i think playing it any way than the way you do is bad. Hope to bink the diamond and use your image to get paid.

If the river is a 7d, I find it hard to see how the bb has a set and plays the flop and turn this way. But a second player snapping his overbet shove, think I fold the nut flush here, surely the snap caller has housed up?

The snap caller was actually after me, so called after I'd folded. If it had been , I think I would have pooped my pants a bit if I'd called and then he'd called also. But I do wonder whether I would make the call or not. It is a bit pot, and £400 on the river is only overbetting the pot slightly...
