Folding on the river in HUGE pot...

first orbit so no real reads except that Button is a really crappy player...

I think every street can be argued against so go on and slap me silly...

Preflop: Only two coldcallers and BB is too shortstacked to payoff if you make a big hand. I would fold.

Turn: It was hard enough to believe in this hand before MP3 announced that he had a four. Obviously he could be bluffing (but why would he?) but I think you should just call and minimize expenses. Raising is not for value and only rarely saves the pot.

River: Good fold.
