Looking for any advice, comments, criticism on the play of the following hand which was very early in a turbo STT(small stakes).

15/30 blinds.

Middle position raiser to 90
I am on button with As,Qd - I call 90
SB calls 90
BB folds

Flop Jh Qs 5h
Middle position bets 30
SB calls 30
I call 30 hoping to fade any cards that complete the draws to get an extra bet.

Turn 7s
check-check to me - I bet 240
SB calls 240
Middle folds
I believe that I am still ahead, but am not certain now.

River Jd
SB bets 60
I call 60 figuring that I definitely beat now because the bet is so small that he is hoping for a raise.

If I raise (or bet) the flop strongly on the coordinated board I would likely take down the small pot at that point. But given that this is a turbo tourney, isn't it proper to attempt to squeeze more out of these opportunities?

//edit: don't post results, they are unnecessary.

stacksizes would help.
1470 for me
1500 for two other players

I think you're overthinking it, you have tptk on a semi-drawy board, you want to raise the flop and bet the turn hard again imo

Please use a hand converter when posting. Here is one that is commonly used: http://www.handconverter.com/. The converter makes things quicker for you and easier for everyone else to read.

On the hand, I agree that you need to bet more on the flop. Pot-size is about 300, so I'd bet 175-225. You want to protect your hand versus draws and hopefully get some value from weaker hands like KQ. It also helps define your opponents' hands - the SB calling 30 means just about nothing here, but if he calls a bet of 200 you can be sure he's really interested in the hand.

Turn bet is fine as played.

On the river, his bet into you seems very odd, and the board has gotten less friendly to you. Since he made such a small bet I'd have no problem calling him.

Otherwise, welcome to the forums, and good luck to you.

As everyone said, you need to bet more on the flop, turn is good. As for river, I don't think you're beat, but raising is bad, as only the hands that beat you will be calling, so a call is good
