Default Pot odds drill

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

Preflop seemed like an easy limp.

Flop: (7 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

9-1 on the flop with 2 overs and a backdoor straight draw. I'm giving myself 3.5 outs for the overcards and .5 for the backdoor straight. I need about 7-1 so I'm good closing the action right?

Turn: (5 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG folds, Hero calls.

On the turn I'm getting 6-1 with at least a 7 out draw. 1 BB worth of implied odds on the pair outs and 1.5 BB implied odds on the straight. Look okay?

River: (7 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Is the river call okay? I figure it's unlikely that he has me beat, but if he does, I'll lose 2 if I raise. If I raise, he'll release sometimes and call sometimes with Ace high. Who votes raise? Thanks for the input.
