Party Poker 15/30

Background
I played this hand on the train on the way to work in the morning, so the usual cadre of loose aggressive psychopaths at the Party Poker 15/30 were not present in force. Everyone at the table seems reasonable, maybe a couple people playing too loose. But then again, I think everybody except me plays too loose.

The Hand
It is folded around to me on the button, again. My hand is 10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], so I raise for a few reasons. The first is that I'm on the button, and I love playing the button. The second is that I have a good shot of stealing these blinds because the two players in the blinds are not the any-two-card blind defender types. Third, these guys are not too aggressive either so there is no way they are going to outplay me postflop and bet me off a better hand. Finally, 10-4 is my favorite hand. I keep telling my poker friends that one day I will pick a favorite hand that doesn't suck so bad.

The flop is 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. It is checked to me, I bet, both blinds call. The turn drops a 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. It is checked to me and I check. On the river, the wonderful 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] falls. The small blind wakes up and bets, and the big blind raises. I?
