Party 2/4, full table. I'm in the BB with 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif. No reads but the table is standard Party stuff.

UTG limps, UTG+1 limps, Button limps, SB completes, I check.

Flop (5 SBs): 3, 4, A rainbow

SB checks, I try to pump my draw by betting, UTG raises /images/graemlins/mad.gif, all fold to me, I call.

Turn: 2

I check, UTG bets, I raise, UTG calls.

River: blank

I bet, UTG calls. UTG has AQ.

In hands like this I almost always lead out against a field to build the pot and disguise my hand if I make my draw. Despite UTG driving out everyone, betting the flop is standard, yes?

Yeah, betting out is pretty standard. I've been check-raising these a little more often lately, since I noticed I was rarely check-raising anything on the flop.
