Bet the river.

While it's possible BB has a scared Q2 or A9, this is a bet. Worse 9's, 5's, PP's, a diamond draw that picked up a pair, and sometimes A-hi (busted FD) will call.

i'd limp here and raise on the button. it might be a raise in the CO as well - not sure.

yeah, a fraction of a second before i checked i thoguht to myself that a check was retarded, but by the time the thought had finished i had already done it. Thread over.

I use the limper rather than my position to decide. If he's tight or tough to goes to showdown a lot, I'll just limp. Otherwise raise, and raise as a default.

I don't really see a reason to raise on the button, but not in the CO.

Reads?

I probably fold preflop unless I'm tilting.

BB is going to have a weak queen or a missed flush/stright draw often. I think you're ahead more than 50%, but I don't know if you're ahead 50% when villain calls. Everyone else says bet, but I would have checked it.

I'm not sure how many of these hands bet the flop when the pot is 4 handed. Most 5/10 players are too passive for that.

If BB had check/called every street or if goofball has a read that he is aggressive, then I agree this is a bet.

YUCK!!! We have position and multiple ways to win. We want to be in a hand every chance we have to pick up value, and this sure as [censored] seems like an opportunity. Yes, we have to dump on the flop a lot, but so what? Unless our opponents are tough(er) (in which case we've got bigger problems since we've been lazy in our table/seat selection), this is a clear play IMO.
