Default NL25: line check flop/turn, ugly river spot

No stats on villain, he sat down maybe 2 orbits ago. But he seemed to be fishy, in this 2 orbits he did stuff like limping in most pots from any position and minreraising from EP and then folding to another minraise.

No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP ($22.50)
Hero ($30.10)
Button ($19.65)
SB ($11.25)
BB ($23.30)
UTG ($24.05)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls $0.90, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($2.25) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: ($14.25) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $4.25 (All-In)</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $18.50

My line:

Bet flop should be a no-brainer, I usually cbet about 90% and I have middle pair and a (weak) flush draw.

Turn: 3 options
1) push
2) protect against a higher flush draw / set
3) check for pot control

I'd only push if I put villain on a set, no way I can do that here. Checking is out of question, why did I bet the turn as a semibluff, when I complete my draw at the turn? And against a fish it's a bet for value and to protect from a higher flush or an unlikely draw to a full house.

River: really ugly card. I can't see much that I beat, the odds are tempting though.
When I was playing, the fold seemed to be easy. Afterwards I am not quite sure about the fold...

Result oriented as I am (damn!) now a turn push looks much better [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
