Default extracting the max. or FPS?

Had a bad beat last night when my set lost to a runner-runner and it made me question how I played it. Advice on all streets appreciated.
PP 5-10 (10 handed)
MP is moron, limps w/j6o, (VPIP 73%, WTSD 48%), Button is VPIP 35%
HERO is UTG+1 w/8h8d
1 fold, Hero limps, 2 folds, MP raises, button coldcalls, BB calls, Hero calls
4 players, 8.4 sm. bets
FLOP: 8s 4d 2h
bb checks, hero checks, MP bets, button calls, bb folds, hero raises, MP calls, button calls
3 players, 7.2 big bets
TURN: Ah
hero checks, MP bets, button calls, hero raises, MP calls, button calls
3 players, 13.2 big bets
RIVER: 3h
hero bets, MP raises, button 3-bets, hero folds, MP calls
MP has Ad5h for a straight and button has Th9h for a flush
My 2 main questions:
Was check raising the turn good, I figured MP would bet even w/o an ace
Was the button correct to call the 1st flop bet, w/backdoor flush, backdoor straight and possibly 2 live overs?
Thanks in advance.
