Blind hand

[Roy6]

Folded to SB, who calls, I check my option with 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]


Flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB checks, I check (?)

Turn is 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB bets, ...

1/ I regulary raise OOP limpers out of the BB, but my hand really sucks, so I figure it was good to check

2/On the flop he announces he has nothing, should I bet here with my nothing? I don't have much of a credit for the Ace, cause I'd probably raised with it preflop.

3/Good play by villain on the turn. He has nothing, but I can't call with a hand that checked the flop.
I had the feeling I didn't use my position wisely in this hand.
