Default $33: Weak top pair out ot BB, lead or follow?

Haven't played in a couple of months, trying to get back in the swing of things.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

UTG+2 (t835)
MP1 (t630)
MP2 (t490)
MP3 (t755)
CO (t925)
Button (t960)
SB (t1015)
Hero (t1110)
UTG (t570)
UTG+1 (t710)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 calls t30, MP2 calls t30, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls t30, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t150) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets t30</font>, SB calls t30, Hero calls t30, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t30.


Would you bet the weak top pair OOP 4 handed with a rag draw board, or continue a passive line? Lead 3/4 pot? Would probably make one or two players drop, but someone calling wouldn't necessarily let me know where I stand at the risk of building a big pot early.

Turn: (t270) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t300</font>, MP2 folds, Button calls t300, SB folds.

So, for some reason I decide to change strategy mid-hand and take the lead. Probably bet too much, but I wanted to take it down here. My thoughs were that a flopped set would have probably bet the flop, and I wanted to make a flush draw pay a price and try to push out overcards. I suppose t225 or so would have done the same thing, no? Would you take the lead here or not?

River: (t870) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero ?</font>

So now I've built a big pot (out of the BB with a marginal hand, nontheless...aack), taken the betting lead with an opponent that is representing a classic flush draw that caught up, and there's little about my previous actions that would suggest that I hit a flush and could rep it.

What's your line?

check and see if he bets and go from there?
blocking bet?
lead the river?

all comments welcome.
