i think your actions have to be drastically different depending upon if you bought the button or not. with a player behind you, and having completely missed the flop, you have to be a bit more cautious. i think you have to check it here, and wait to see what happens behind you. it is probably a check-fold, unless you have a backdoor flush/straight draw to go along with your overcards. then you might think about calling to see what the turn brings.

if you did buy the button, then i think you should stay agressive when the other opponents are passive. i think you should bet the turn again in this situation. if you dont bet, then you invite the blind to steal from you on the river. if you do throw the bet out there, you have a number of options left.
1. you can win the pot right there.
2. you can improve on the river and win.
3. you can miss and check the pot down.
4. you can miss, and still fire out at the pot, trying to win on a bluff.
i think keeping the agression going on the turn will help you win the pot more often than not, and that even if you dont win that pot, it creates a good table image for you.
