i hate it so much

In an 8.5 BB pot, I think I would like to call this.

[Terrabon98]

i call probably close to 100% of the time

Personally I would check/call the river.

What about the rest of the hand?
Depending on the buttons stats and any reads, do you 3-bet and to try to isolate the SB? Would it be better to slow down after getting two cold called, or do you keep betting figureing for a draw possibly with overcards. check/fold the turn or hope he checks behind?

I really dislike this one. Against an unknown you induce a bluff and then fold. An average opponent will bet many many hands here that you beat. Calling the river is the play here and its not close.
