C'mon, folks, even though the decision isn't easy . . . there have to be good arguments one way or the other.

I would check. The button could easily have a flush here. He limped pre so a big pair is likely out, he coldcalled two bets on the flop and a turn checkraise. Would he do this with a random jack? The BB could also have the flush with the action, but I think one of them prob. has AJ or something and the other rivered the flush or the button could possibly have a busted straight (which he could bluff at if checked to). You're obv. not folding out hands you lose to. I say check and call a bet.
