Default Fairly standard scenario, but whats the best approach?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($394.85)
Button ($157.31)
SB ($117.43)
Hero ($457.31)
UTG ($753.32)
MP ($624.60)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $12</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls $12, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB (poster) calls $10, Hero calls $8.

Flop: ($48) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero uses all his brain power to think of a line.

All these guy are 50/10 wackjobs, except the SB, whos like 24/7. PFR is a 51/17 and open liberally.

I don't think anyones ever folding an overpair here, maybe an ace.

Pot control.

Keep it as small as possible for now.

Information like whether I am going to turn a straight or a (NG) set.

In the event that I turn a NG set, I check again to gain more information.

Like whether I fill up on the river.

You've got a weak draw and you're out of position. There's a slight chance you have the best hand, but it'll cost you way too much to find out. I'd check/call a reasonable bet and fold to anything substantial, since you have only 8 outs to a medium strength hand that has no implied odds.

I like the check call line, with 2 still to act.

Alright, so I'm getting a lot of checks....

I check, UTG fires out a $36 bet, CO calls (could be any two), sb folds, Hero calls (????).

Turn is an 8. Check fold time?
