Default MIddle pair out of the blind

One of the more interesting hands I had last night. My first session against this button, no useful info to share. Average table overall, flop% is running around 35.

Absolute Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (7 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (4 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls, Button calls, SB calls.

Turn: (4 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, SB folds, Hero calls, MP1 folds.

River: (6 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, Button checks.

Final Pot: 6 BB

My plan on the flop was to bet and hope it gave me a clue whether I was up against an ace or not. Four people seeing the turn was NOT what I wanted to hear, and I was planning to check-fold a blank turn.

All comments welcome, but two particular questions in my mind ... was I right to call the turn at all, with some fuzzy number between 6 and 9 outs? How about planning to check-call the river when the flush card came? I figured if I bet out, I'd get raised by a flush and folded by most other stuff - but I might get a call from a blank ace that'd be worth an extra bet.
