I didn't have any reads on these people beforehand, but I do now...should I have made a crying call or just folded? Got them in my buddy list now...

This is a bad situation. One strategy is to lead the flop and give up if you meet any resistance. You probably can't get a better hand to fold but that $5 bet you put out there is an inexpensive attempt to find out where you're at. Once it checked around like this you are either being trapped or are way ahead. I would check the turn once again and react to what happens on the 2nd betting round in a conservative manner. You shouldn't be too worried about giving a freebie here. If someone has a hand like QJ or JT they do have a gutshot draw but you're just too big of an underdog to worry about that.
