This may have been the toughest river decision I've ever faced. See what you do:
SB is 31/10/1.4 after more than 1000 hands
Button is 75/5/0.8 after ~100 hands
Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

2 folds</font>, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks.
Flop: (3 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Turn: (3 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, Button checks.

these players are NOT passive. this is an EASY call given the turn check. not calling here is criminal.
that is to say. bet the freakin turn.

the turn check makes it harder to fold. the button checked last to act, now he raises? the sb apparently whiffs on a checkraise and now check-3bets. plus hes not getting great odds, and there is a parlay effect which is huge
