JJ, 3b pot, deep, overpair, scary board

Button is a total retard who plays really passively. Earlier he called my raise w/AA, called my flop bet and minraised all in the turn. No previous conflicts with UTG.

UTG 57/20/1.2 (120 hands)
Button 62/0/0 over plenty of hands [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

3b preflop is standard.

Flop... I really can't just call here, this deep and let him keep betting, I also want to know if BTN is still interested so think raising is the best line. I was planning to raise/fold fwiw.

Turn... Not a pretty card but I've still got an overpair. I'm concerned with what UTG has now thinking QQ-AA is very likely. I decide to check behind and see what happens on the river.

River... I get my flush and am faced with a 1/2 pot bet. I really thought I was going to be behind here but decided whether he had QQ-AA there was a 50% chance he had a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and I only needed to be good 33% to break even so talked myself into a call.

Very interested to hear whether this is an easy call or easy fold (or shove?!) and if the line I took was good.

Thanks
