I think I played this right in the end, but I'd just be interested to know anybody else's thoughts...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG ($5.93)
UTG+1 ($1.59)
MP1 ($0.77)
MP2 ($1.48)
CO ($1.17)
Hero (Button) ($2.03)
SB ($8.78)
BB ($1)

Preflop: Hero is Button with ,
UTG calls $0.02, UTG+1 calls $0.02, MP1 calls $0.02, 1 fold, CO calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.02, 1 fold, BB checks

Flop: ($0.13) , , (6 players)
BB bets $0.08, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.08, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.08

Turn: ($0.37) (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks

Hero...?

Think this might be a pretty obvious one, but I just would like to hear how other would proceed. Similarly how do people approach say hitting trips or even just two pair when the card that hits you also flushes the board? Do you just bet for value and see what your opponent does? Obviously it's always dependent on how your opp has played the hand up to that point...

All thoughts welcome as ever guys. Cheers.

Take my advice with a grain of salt, but..

I'd bet small here 1/3 to 1/2 pot, you're still likely to have the best hand, but it's going to be hard to extract value. Bet something that worse hands could call loosely and you're not afraid to walk away from if you get raised. If the river bricks and it checks to you again, you can make another thin value bet. Just be wary of stacking off with a relatively weak hand.

 This is hard to say without reads on either villain. With so many limpers and a hand like ATs im likely to raise preflop on the button though.

 I don't like the calls at all. AT gets me in trouble so much that when I do play them I make it hard for anybody to stay in. Then after the flop I would have came over him to like .45 or so, again making it hard for somebody to catch another card.
Lets not forget Harley not a power player so I'd be interested in hearing why I'm wrong on this???
