Default Middle pair

I'm getting back into SH after a long break at the full games so I'm just trying to figure out how aggressive I should be. I think I was too aggressive in my experience from before at the Party 5/10. Should I be playing this hand? Is this the proper aggression?

These reads are mostly from 3-4 handed play. SB is 35/15/1.8. He gets a little passive postflop, but I think has good preflop play. Button is 50/2/.6 and likes to call.

Absolute 5/10 (4 handed)

I'm the BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Preflop:
CO folds, Button calls, SB raises, I call, Button calls.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(6 SB)</font>
SB bets, <font color="red">I raise</font>, Button calls, SB calls.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 BB)
SB checks, <font color="red">I bet</font>, Button calls, SB calls.

River: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (9 BB)
SB checks, I?

I fold preflop, but I know I'm a bit too tight from the BB in short, short-handed play. Looks good so far. I check the river.

the call PF is fine. I make the same raise on the flop, take that FWIW. as far as the river, I think a bet/fold is probably best. BOth look like peelers, so if you get raised on this river, you know you're beat almost all of the time. I don't want to check, as we might still have the best hand and of course, we don't want to overcall the river if it comes to that.
