I like your line. If checked to you on the river what do you do? The villain is actually almost aggressive enough to reraise on the turn (I could see him playing 87, 98, T8 roughly in this manner), but those other players make me think better of it.

I guess you could consider folding with the Button and SB (who was previously aggressive) behind you... it is certainly possible that one of them has a 5 and will now raise making your original call a disaster.

So, on second thought. I don't know about the river, but I think I play it the same.

Edit: Next time stop your post at the river decision and don't seem so hopeless. You'll get better unbiased responses.

I think the turn is very close especially with all the others in the pot.
The river is an easy call I would prefer the 5 over any other card with the exception of an 8. Lots of broken draws here.
