SB: $3.25 (65 bb)
BB: $7.60 (152 bb)
UTG: $5 (100 bb)
Hero (MP): $6.21 (124.2 bb)
CO: $9.35 (187 bb)
BTN: $4.47 (89.4 bb) (13/3/0,9 AF/364 hands)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A♠: A♦:
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.15, CO folds, BTN calls $0.15, SB calls $0.13, BB calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.60) A♣: T♦: 6♠: (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($0.60) K♣: (4 players)
SB bets $0.30, BB folds, Hero calls $0.30, BTN calls $0.30

River: ($1.50) 9♥: (3 players)
SB bets $0.35, Hero raises to $1.06, BTN raises to $3.02, SB folds, Hero??

Flop: If it's a bit more connected like AT8 or AT7 or 2 suited I would definitely bet, but I thought if I bet there's not enough hands that can call me, so I decided to check. Since button is so tight and passive He could easily have TT, 66 or ATs, so plan is to raise if he bets.

Turn: Now I have to bet, but SB did it for me so I just call with intention to raise river. When button calls, I think he still can have TT, 66, AT or even AK.

River: As planned SB bets, I raise, and BU 3bets. 2 gutshots completed on turn and river, and I'm not shure if he would do it without nuts. I don't think 78 is in his range, but QJs could be. Fold? Call? Shove?

4 way I would bet the flop for sure for value. The change the BTN will check back is decent and I think you could lose value with checking. As played you end up in a nasty river spot, but I don't think I can fold top set when you only lose against QJ.

I would bet/bet/shove. You can't slowplay that monster OTF 4-way.
River is a call for sure at least, your hand is underrepresented.

Thanks for replay guys...
And I called... and it was QJ... but never mind, I'm not results oriented.

1) I was thinking against 1 or 2 at most opp I could bet 1/2 pot on this board, beacause then I can get calls from TX, maybe JJ, but 4 way all those hands are probably folding. Now, it looks to me you're telling me it's completely opposite. I know it's opposite on boards I've mentioned in my first post, but is it really opposite on such a dry board?
2) What sizings would you use in this spot?

I can understand the flop check vs 3 opponents because you would look super strong, but I'd would bet small anyway (1/4 or 1/3 is fine). Then, you can even check the turn on a blank card.
As played I would raise the turn donkbet. Notice that SB is completely OOP and the K adds some more draws he can double barrel bluff and try to win the pot. It is the only away he can win the pot basically. And it was what he did, although his sizings are awful.
The thing is: if we don't raise top set on this turn, what value hands would we raise with? only the nuts (QJ)?
You have to raise here with more (DP, even TPTK) to balance the bluffs.

I agree that the river cold 3bet is going to be the most strong thing you'll see (I can't even remember a hand where some player did cold 3bet my raise OTR), but you must call with top set here. It is the top of your range.

I am a bit different than many players. I love slow playing. I tend to earn huge pots. Although, I do get rivered. I strongly agree with your Flop check because as you stated there are not two suited board cards. Again, I love your Turn decision to call with the intention of raising the river. The river card is scary because of the two gut shot straights. I would not shove against 3 suited cards. But, I would shove in this case. My attitude is that if a villain's All-In quality hand beats my All-In quality hand, then I will not allow that to bother me. My Poker Tracker All-In Average Equity is 58%. With those odds, I am comfortable with my push range.
