I donked this but good

Empire 2/4 (10 handed)

Button: 93/6.5 (had been calling down like a good fish for an hour.)

SB: 21/4 (seemed really passive post-flop, but not many hands to be sure.)

MP 15/12 (just a few hands, but was at least attempting the TAG routine.)

HERO is UTG with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

HERO limps, 4 folds, MP raises, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, HERO calls.

FLOP: (5 players) (10 sb)
Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Checked to MP (PF raiser) who bets, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds, HERO calls.

[13:1, closing the action w/ middle pair and minor draws. Peeling is good, yes?]

TURN: (4 players) (6.5 BB)
[Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Checked through

[My plan was to check/fold this.]

RIVER (4 players) (6.5 BB)
[Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB checks, HERO checks (???), MP checks, Button bets, SB calls, HERO...

First is the question of whether or not to bet. The only player I take seriously is MP, and I'm pretty sure he's on overcards at this point. Is this a terribly weak check?

Once it comes back to me, overcalling SB feels really icky. What to do?

[DeuceKicker]

Raise pre-flop. Besides the fact that KJs is a good hand, MP1 might fold instead of raise.

I think I'd call the river. You don't supply a read for Button. He might be tricky enough to try to steal a pot that's been checked to him on the river (though against 4 players?) True, SB could have a Q, but he could have a smaller J or nothing at all.

Raise pre-flop, bet flop. Everything plays differently from there...
