Default Pocket eights in a raised pot

Typical Party 0.5/1 table. No read on either MP3 or Button.

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls, Hero calls, MP2 folds, MP3 calls.

Flop: (11 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds.

11 SB in this pot already so I think a fold is out of the question. A check/raise wouldn't help protect my hand since the bet will probably come from Button, so I bet here.

Turn: (7.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls, Button calls, SB folds.

Picked up a gutshot straight draw and a weak flush draw. I still think my hand is best, and I'm not gonna give a free card.

River: (10.50 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls, Button folds.

I entertained checking this river, as now both a K and 6 beats me, so I'm not ahead of a whole lot besides a busted draw. If I checked, I would have called if it was one back to me.

Final Pot: 12.50 BB

Did I go wrong anywhere in this hand? What would you have done on the river if you played it the way I did up to that point?
