Bet this river. Bet your marginal hands in to loose passive opponents.

To expand a bit, Grunch, what if the callers are, say TP-P? Is there a point at which you'll slow down on a read that your opponent probably has you beaten but is to timid to raise? Or will you just bet it all the way down against that guy as well, knowing that it's unlikely to cost you an extra bet?

Don't bet marginal hands in to tight opponents, especially more than one. If both opponents are T here, a check is the way to go. It comes down to how often your opponents will call with worse hands if you bet. If your opponents are tight, when they call they usually beat you. But with loose opponents, when they call there's a very good chance they have less than you.

I should point out that if there were 4 passive opponents, I probably wouldn't bet then.
