Two wrong ways to play it ---
Okay, you bet.
Next player will sigh, look at his cards, slowly and reluculantly throw in a call.
Next player will sigh, look at his cards, slowly and reluculantly throw in a call.

The Turn comes a blank. You bet.

You check.
Next player will sigh, look at his cards, and check. Next player will sigh, look at his cards, and check.

Now the small blind will either fold, or sigh, look at his cards, and slowly and reluculantly throw in a call.

If you both call the button's bet then:
Next player will sigh, look at his cards, and call.
Next player will sigh, look at his cards, and call.
Next player will sigh, look at his cards, and call ...
Turn comes a blank.
