I'd definetly check call this on the river, UTG has been saying he's better than one pair the whole hand, but he could have a badly played AA or KK or A9, so I think a check-call is in order.

pot the flop, the way it went, raise it

and don't bet that river

Flop: Lead for $4. Given how it played, I raise it to $7.

Turn: Fine.

River: I like a small bet, but am folding to this raise rather quickly.

OOP with a baby flush draw? I don't see deuces helping me too much here. I much prefer to check/call with a marginal draw OOP.

if you don't think the deuces will help then why did u bet the river?

and without reads how do you not see the deuces helping after a min-bet and a bunch of cold callers?

a pair+flush draw with that action is not a marginal draw imho

I think you need to get more $$$ in on the flop while you have a great hand. Pair plus flush draw = almost the nuts. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Either lead it, or given the action, c/r it up. I c/r alot from the blinds so I would probably c/r it. I have a hand with potential and I wouldn't mind continuing, but I wouldn't mind taking it down right there either. There's a very good chance river is a c/f, but it's only a c/c at best.
