NL50 check-raised on a turned 2 pair

[ActionStan]

Bodog .25/.50

Dealt AhJh in MI. Stack ~$70

UTG call, Hero raise $2.00, SB call, UTG call. Pot ($6.50)

Flop Jd8x7d
SB (Stack ~$60) leads for $3.00.

Pot $12.5

UTG folds, I am a bit suspicious and smooth call. That's an odd lead into the pre-flop raiser.

Turn is Ad, giving me 2 pair on a very dicey board

SB checks, I bet $8.00 to find out where I am.
SB min-raises to $16.00.

$8.00 to call into a $36.50 pot.

My action? My plan if I call?

Raise flop, I'd always lead a FD in a pot like this if I were him. However this kinda smells like a set too.. You can't really tell without a flop raise imo. I think I'd call here and see what he does on river, we got position.

I was on the fence on the flop raise. I wanted another bet out of Jx. But, a raise would have been good on that board too.

I think my bigger mistake was not checking behind on the turn. It really was a bad card for me. Any hands that I beat aren't calling a bet on that board. Any river bet offered by the villain would have been much more callable.

I was right on the fence on the turn bet. Given the stacks, I'm not quite 10:1 to make the top full and am getting around 10:1 (dead money plus the rest of his stack) if he stacks off.

What size bet are you calling on the river if you do call and a blank comes?
