Default NL25 - JTo in BB, how is my thought process

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($21.55)
Button ($16.90)
SB ($15.50)
Hero ($32)
UTG ($12.55)
UTG+1 ($25)
MP1 ($18.35)
MP2 ($5.40)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.25, MP1 calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

My thinking pre-flop was I would be out of position the entire hand so check in BB and see what the flop brings.

Flop: ($1) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.5</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $0.50, SB folds.

On the flop - have middle pair, a flush draw, and a backdoor straight draw. This is a strong hand but am probably behind right now - bet 1/2 the pot thinking if villain is weak he will fold, if he calls I am likely behind but I have sweetened the pot incase I improve on turn.

Turn: ($2) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, MP1 calls $2.

On the turn - I am pretty sure I have the best hand, but want to get any draws out. Bet the pot - this should get everyone out except for a straight flush draw and possibly a set. I would expect a set to re-raise.

River: ($6) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3</font>, MP1 calls $3.

Really don't see the river helping anyone. My bet was sized as I wanted a call.

Final Pot: $12
