The turn brings hope in set form... and much raising

Another from this 3/6 foray a few months back (there were two others I meant to post from then that are just horrendous... a totally misplayed top pair flop on an overcard turn, and a poorly played flush draw... what I'm trying to say was, I played very poorly post-flop and was saved by having a very nice run of cards).

Here's one that I'm less sure about...

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

BB here is bad tricky. Loves to stick around too long and bet at inappropriate times. I would later get a much stronger read on him as a Buddy To Find Later, but at the time (if I remember correctly) that was my impression. UTG is fairly typical, a little too passive (doesn't raise enough before or after the flop). Still don't know much about SB.

Flop: (8 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks.

Missed check raise from some villain? I was a little concerned... I had been prepared to fold to a bet on this flop, and didn't really consider betting, despite my preflop strength. I was a little worried that despite UTG my raise would be seen as a steal attempt (I'd done that at this table a couple times) and I'd get called down with, well, anything.

Turn: (4 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB bets, BB raises, UTG folds, Hero ????

Well I hit my two outer, and everyone's going buck-wild and now there's a flush draw... jam the turn or wait 'til the river?

[edited to change "not a lot of draws" to "a flush draw" because, well, there's clearly a flush draw, and as rubeskiesiesies pointed out... 9-10 just got open ended)
