Can you find any errors in my play here???

This was a hand from tonight that I thought I played really well...but I know I am a rookie and needed to be sure in case I was over looking something...
The table had a VPIP around 48 and mostly passive play.

Ultimate Bet 0.05/0.10 Hold'em (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, CO calls, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (6 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 bets, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero calls, BB folds, UTG calls.
I realize I have 3 outs to 2pair, 1.5 outs to BDSD, and 2 outs to trips for a total of 6.5 outs and I discounted my outs by 1 to give me 5.5 outs, and this gives me odds of 7.5 to 1. For me to call the flop I had 9 to 1, and I had two fish behind me so I figured I would get atleast 10 to 1...so I had odds to call the flop bet
Turn: (5 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP1 bets, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero raises, UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, CO folds.
I made two pair of the turn and I planned on check/raising to protect my hand...
River: (11 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, MP2 calls.
I believe I have the best hand and bet out to get money in the pot...
Final Pot: 13 BB

Anybody see anything wrong in my play or logic with this hand??
All advice welcome

don't forget that on the flop you often have the best hand.

You talk about the flop as if you are already drawing...you often have the best hand here.

He has a weak pair in a small pot on a LARGE drawing board. What does this bring to mind?

9 to 1 is a small pot?

when you guys were saying betbetbetbetbetbetbetbet it's 5:1 yes?

EDIT: How often is a pair of 7's going to hold up in this pot? This looks like reversed implied odds here to me. The way it went, I don't think the checkraise on the turn was all that horrible.

I said check/fold, maybe that's not so good, check/fold is actually sounding really dumb. But I certainly don't like betting out here. You're more than likely not going to have the best hand against this field on the river. And if it does hold up you're not going to collect any bets on the river more than likely.

yes....

but arent we talking about the check/fold scenario?

by the time it gets to you are getting 9-1

I don't check-raise often enough, but i'm leading this turn. You have no guarantee MP2 will bet this again, and giving a free card sucks on this board. If MP2 does bet, you're trapping MP2 and CO in the middle, which kinda sucks since, again, the board is coordinated.

It looks like you're trying to "protect" too many hands that you're ahead in. Betting out on the flop protects your top pair (probably good), giving 6 outers or less odds to fold. Bet for value on the turn and river.

Don't always assume that you're behind with strong cards. It's probably why you get rivered so much (causing you to play even more passively).
