Default Now I know why god hates short stacks.....

Villain here is 43/6/1 over 100 hands.

Would like some feedback on my line versus this short stack and what I should do on the river.

Full Tilt Poker, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
LegoPoker Hand History Converter

SB: $48
BB: $61.50
UTG: $22.60
MP: $50
CO: $53.30
Hero (BTN): $166.75

Pre-Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG calls $0.50, MP calls $0.50, CO folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $2.75</font>, 2 folds, UTG calls $2.25, MP folds

Flop: ($6.75) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
UTG checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $5</font>, UTG calls $5

Turn: ($16.75) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

River: ($16.75) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">UTG bets $14.85 and is All-In</font>, Hero?[/i]

I raised preflop, I c-bet, I checked behind with middle pair on the turn, and the river card was the pure embodyment of evil. It made my two pair, but also completed the flush draw and the straight draw. Shorty then pushes all in giving me one more reason to kick the dog.

Now that Fido has a limp, what would you do here? Was I wrong to check behind on the turn, even though stack sizes would have dictated an all-in move there with second pair.

Feedback is appreciated.
