Default Middling Flush on a Paired Board

No reads. Did I play OK here? I'm unsure about the turn & river. Villain's wimpy turn raise confused me.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP1 ($62.20)
MP2 ($30.70)
CO ($48.25)
Button ($36.50)
SB ($31.45)
Hero ($75.40)
UTG ($6.80)
UTG+1 ($77.25)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: ($1.75) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1.5</font>, UTG+1 calls $1.50, MP1 folds.

Turn: ($4.75) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to $6</font>, Hero calls $3.

River: ($16.75) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $10</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to $35</font>, Hero calls $25.

Final Pot: $86.75

The turn minraise launches red flags in to low orbit. He didn't just make a pair of fours...

I check-call the river to avoid having to call a big raise when it's typically a losing call. In other words, you get your money in better by calling a bet than calling a raise.

Stacks are awkward for a river c/r. We won't be able to fold but we'll know we're beat if he three bets us. I like bet/call.

Without a read I would play that more careful on the river because of his turn minraise. His minraise is a donkey play, but I put him on a made straight or a set, so I would vote for a check-call on the river.

Ya check call the river Depending on how big the bet is ofcause if its huge I would Fold.
The minraise on turn and everything says that u are very likely beaten as mentioned before so now I think its actually Fold.
