Default Routine hand, screwed up the turn?

SB is a big time calling station. He's playing any two cards now that it's semi-short-handed.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (7 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP2 posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 (poster) checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls.

Standard raise yes? Playing 3-way against a random poster and the calling station would be a dream.

Flop: (9 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button folds, SB calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, Hero calls, SB calls.

This really threw me for a loop. No idea if I'm ahead or behind now. Call and re-evaluate on the turn.

Turn: (7.50 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, Hero calls....

I think this is where my mistake is. If I could get SB to fold a J, I'll win the whole pot if my gutshot comes. If he folds a Q I'll win if I make two pair. If he folds some crappy pair he called with on the flop, I'm good if the river would have made him two pair. Even if we are behind MP2, a raise significantly improves my equity.

Sorry if this is a boring hand, but I always want to make sure I'm understanding general concepts.
