PLO25, spots im not sure about

UTG: $19.13
HJ: $27.40
CO: $25
BN: $25
SB: $25.03
BB: $25 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt J J 4 8
UTG calls $0.25, HJ folds, CO raises to $1, BN folds, SB calls $0.90, Hero calls $0.75, UTG calls $0.75
Flop ($4.00) J Q 5 (4 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3.25, UTG calls $3.25, CO folds, SB calls $3.25
UTG has been playing very loosely as you can see from his limp.
Turn ($13.75) A (3 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $11.75, UTG calls $11.75, SB raises to $20.78, Hero calls $9, UTG calls $3.13
When SB checks, I ecpect him to have FD's in his range mainly as I don't think he will be checking top set or a straight with a FD on board. When UTG calls only, he should still have a FD or 2p or so. After being CR, I dun think I can fold with the price
River ($70.16) 2 (3 Players)
Final Pot
SB has K T A T Hero has J J 4 8 UTG has 8 2 3 6 SB wins $56.39 , SB wins $11.74 , SB wins $0.03

In a 3 way pot, im not sure if I should be cautious of a straight here. I find myself getting too excited too often when hitting sets. What would be the right play here?

Flop bet is okay, though I bet smaller (a) for the reason of balanced play, (b) for make more comfortable reraise call vs wrap+combo such as AKT w/ spades vs we are flipping then: 49,3%, (c) to prepare ourselves for easier c/c on "not good" turn cards and (d) because my hand is very vulnerable not having any redraw - which makes our top set not so strong m-w as we might be convinced at first glance.

Turn play: you made "beginer's" overplay where surely one of 2 players "most likely" made their hand now.

Even HU vs SB when he checks w/ intention to c/r, bet is just incorrect, and in 3-w its practically drawing position now when you draw to paired board OTR.

With bet OTT the trapper becomes trapped and additional sign for that is : no one reraised you OTF which means you dont play vs {(QJ),(QQ),(55)} which are besides AKT spade spade or KT9 spade spade the only candidates for opponents' holdings when got reraised OTF. When they call you OTF, one player probably has good FD and other some kind of wrap/open ender with no FD as he would have reraised OTF I think.

Additional note ) Also, CO could have turned better set OTT vs which you are drawing dead...

To many signs you dont have best hand now OTT => mandatory check, if someone bets, you can easilly fold or maybe "gamble"/draw (yes-draw) and still call as we c-bet 40% pot OTF [case (c) OTF] having in mind this potential scenario...

Regards
