Trying to learn NL... 88 middle set , questions on every street

[tl65\]

Ok, limit player here, I've been playing strictly NL for about the last two weeks and trying to get the hang of this game.

sorry no hand history, but here it is:

1/2 200 max 9 handed

stacks:
Me:305
MP (seems kinda loose and passive): 70
Button (seems alright, havent payed much attention to him): 175

2 limpers, followed by limp by MP and button, i check in the BB with 88(no [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img])

flop(pot 11):
K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
I bet out 9, MP calls, button raises to 24, I call, MP calls

At this point, my thought process is that I have the best hand, MP probably has a flush draw, Button's probably on something like KQ. A 3bet here will probably win the pot outright, but i think a call here is more +EV. Comments on this?

turn(pot 83):
2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

check, check, bet 45, we both call (MP is all in for 44)

At this point, I'm pretty confident that MP has a flush draw and I dont think button will allow a free card, dont want to give him a chance to get away from his hand cheap. Would a checkraise be better here? There's no way MP's folding a flush draw here with only $44 left, but I think it makes it too easy for button to get away from his K.

River(215)

What's my play here? Button has 105 left. I checked, but I think a small bet would've been good, because if my reads are right, I dont think button would be able to fold to a $50 bet on the river.

Also, if the heart doesnt come on the river, I think it's an easy all in. Button can't fold a K getting 3:1 on that river, might look like i'm bluffing a missed flush....


So what do you guys think? stick to limit?
