25NL Sets are easy to play right?

[bored]

I have anecdotal evidence that SB is a huge donk (I saw him in a video). This is about my 4th hand on Full Tilt and I am trying to get my HHs/Pokertracker/HUD to work.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter (http://www.legopoker.com/hh))

SB: $10.95
BB: $9.80
UTG: $14.95
MP: $34.00
CO: $24.65
Hero (BTN): $37.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif (6 Players)
UTG calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, SB calls $0.15, BB checks

Flop: ($1.50) J/images/graemlins/heart.gif 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif 5/images/graemlins/club.gif (6 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $0.75</font>, 2 folds, <font color="red">MP raises to $1.50</font>, CO folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $6.00</font>, SB calls $5.25, MP calls $4.50

Turn: ($19.50) 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets all-in for $4.70</font>, MP calls $4.70, Hero calls $4.70

River: ($33.60) A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (3 Players - 1 All-In)
MP checks, Hero checks

Pot Size: $33.60 ($1.65 Rake)

PF family pot; with all these limpers I decide not to raise and hope to win a big pot.

Flop is pretty good for me and I have action; I 3bet nearly pot after donks small bet and MP's minraise. They both called, which I was not expecting. I put at least one of them on a FD, as the pot was limped.

Turn sucks a little for me, as FD and 76 both get there. SB pushes and MP calls; here is where I have my problem.

Am I supposed to bet at MP and protect myself from a bad card on the river (/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K, Q, 9, 7, 6) or am I supposed to call and hope the river pairs?

River, I now think I should have bet, but in the heat of the moment I checked, expecting to lose to a flush. (I guess my mind was still stuck on the turn).

So how many mistakes did I make on this hand?

Id usually push the turn here, if he trapped you with the nut flush good for him. as played im pushing the river.

This situation screams for a raise..Think about how differently the hand plays out had op raised PF...You would've been nearly AI on the flop..

As played raise the turn..Short stacked SB is AI and MP showed weakness..Raise now to build a side pot...You can still make money on this hand even if SB made his flush...When MP check again on the river you must bet..

Please push turn or river.

does not compute. It is easier to get your stack in the middle if you raise pre flop.

Value bet the river, not the turn.
