SB checks, Hero?

Did I raise too much on the flop, not enough? Is calling even an option? After the 225 bet I've already pumped in half my stack. All-IN? These situations come up frequently and with 2 others in the pot yet I don't know what I should have done on the flop. Nobody pushed back so I am pretty sure I am ahead, although people will call down with ace/small but they don't always bet out with it.

I'd fold the flop. An ace hit, donks don't fold aces. If checked you can continuation bet or check behind and play your hand for value. However, as played I push the river and hope they fold since I am beat. This is what happens when you incorrectly pot committ yourself on the flop.
