Looks like button raised some amount putting him all-in and everyone else called. This looks fine to me.

While I've certainly been overzealous in value-bets where there is nearly no value (especially on the river), I'd think twice about betting this river, unless I knew the 2 villains to be serious calling stations...

The turn is clear, but on the river we bet and fold out all the straight and flush draws that missed, we may sometimes fold a 2, and we never fold an A. That leaves any 8, any PP below JJ, and the odd 2 that will call. Will that make up for the times when we lose an extra bet to a weak Ace, or bet-fold to a 6? I think it's close, reads would be great here.

I think in this particular case I'd check here, and hope a weak ace checks behind, given how passive the opponents seem to be.
