Default Stars $3.4 TPNK first hand in BB

Is it alright to just call these tiny bets here or should I put in a raise somewhere? Also, his check on the river most likely means he has air, so I'm kind of temped to bet out, but I don't think I'm getting called by anything I'm beating anyway. Would you play this hand differently?

This may seem overly nitty but I'm happy enough to give this up on the flop, especially given that there is a player to act. I'm very open to correction on this.

I'm not looking to committ chip with a vulnerable and marginal hand this early. There are several cards that could come that make this hand very hard to play.

As played, I guess the calls are ok and i agree with river check, we want to keep the pot small and you have good show down value.

I'm folding on the flop, especially because UTG is still to act.
