checkity check.

If you were in last or next to last position, maybe a bet would be worthwhile since you'll probably end up seeing the whole board to make your hand (assuming that the passivity of your opponents continues).

The good thing is that you have good relative position to the potential betters, either CO or the Button. If they bet, then you can see how many opponents are going to be in the pot to see if it makes it worth your while to chase the gut shot.

Check, have little to no fold equity and will almost always be able to peel on the flop since its 6 handed.

Yeah, I guess that was a bit obvious. I did check. The 8 icon_suit_diamond.gif came on the turn, completing my straight. I guess it put some "results-oriented" questions in my mind, and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss any bets unnecessarily. Thanks for your opinions.
