Default good move, or was I the fish?

Bisons won't convert, so I'll try to recreate...

I'm in MP. First hand of the table, so I've posted BB...

I get dealt

2 limp, I check, SB raises, 2 call...I decide that I'm getting 8:1 which is pretty good odds, so I call the raise (it's only one bet to me).

Flop comes:

SB bets 2 limpers call. I decide I'm getting 11:1 to draw to my 5 outer...so I call...

Turn:

SB Bets, EP call, EP+1 2 bets, Hero 3bets, SB cold calls, EP fold, EP+1 calls

River:

SB bets, EP+1 calls, Hero Raises, 2 calls

Results:
Hero shows [6s 8h] and wins $21.25 with (three of a kind, Eights)
SB shows [Ad Kc] (Two Pair)
EP+1 mucks


So, Am I a fish in this hand?

Drawing to a 5 outter? You fucking flopped 2 pair son. You need to raise(and cap) the flop. The rest of the hand plays itsself, cap every street.

Now I'm thinking the 6 was a mistake? He meant it to be a blank.

I can see just a call on the flop if you only had 2nd pair but with 2 pair I think the opps would have called a raise. Even if some fold -that isn't all bad with 2 bottom pair - or was it just a 2nd pair?
After the trips - or was it a full house? - on the turn, absolutely 3x bet - Nice hand.

assuming that he only had middle pair on the flop with two to the flush on board, I don't like the flop call.
