Raise on the river??? Yikes!

I agree w/ Buzz. As played, a raise wouldn't be wise.

Buzz, I'm wondering about something that hasn't been mentioned yet. Do you think OP's initial check on the river is the right play? Given that there is just one player left to act behind, I'd definitely bet out if I were hero. If I get raised by the button, probably have to call... But if it checks through and hero misses picking up a bet or two from the 9-K str's, that's worse, as long as the check around happens more frequently than the button raise, which I believe it does.
