Decision with an overpair...
 

My apologies if $600 Nl questions should be posted in the SS NL instead.

Reads: SB has been up and down... he's played weak hands OOP occasionally, but overall seems good and reasonable.

UTG hasn't done anything out of the ordinary that I have noticed. One previous hand he had TP bet the flop and turn then checked-behind when an overcard hit. If anything he's been a little on the tight side for SH.

First of all I think you need to raise more preflop if you are willing to put in a lot of money after the flop without a set. Make it 30-35 to go. Secondly you need to bet at least 3/4 pot on the flop. You dont want to have to guess if he is raising you because your bet looked weak. As you played it I think you have to muck the turn. He check raised two players on a drawless flop and led out big on the turn. I would guess that you are beat more often than not.
