Check behind on turn, lot of people have shown interest in the hand and it's very unlikely you have the best hand at the moment. River is obviously fine.

I wouldn't worry too much, can't raise every draw [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] The table is pretty passive you are just building a pot for better aces if the fd doesn't hit. As you'll likely get good value out of them if you do hit, bet then.
Agree with a turn check, if you were planning on playing the hand as a semi bluff, raise the flop to $1.75 - 2. As it is, it's unlikely that many better hands will fold on turn. Pretty much the same deal on the river I feel.
Would anyone raise pf? I'd occasionally throw a pf raise in with this hand on the button, no one's shown any strength and it may make the flop more straightforward.
