Two calls on the turn is not really what I would have expected.

I'm really tempted to call the river. Button may have a flush, but if all he has is a jack, you chop with that, unless he has AJ. And he really hasn't shown any strength. He could be trying to steal with a missed gutshot. Or maybe he now figures his 33 is good.

Earlier in the hand, I might take a stab at the flop, versus UTG's worse-than-random hand (he just checked preflop) and whatever Button limped behind with.

This is weird.

I think flop and turn are good. I play check-and-see on the flop. I like the turn bet because you're pretty likely to be ahead at this point. The K is a good card for you.

Getting two calls sucks. One or both may be on draws, but a major draw hit on the river. Often one of the calls will be second or third pair. In a tiny pot with a player behind you (who may well have a weak Q or something) I think folding the river is fine. If you intend to showdown, I think I prefer bet-folding to check-calling anyway.
