Only my second orbit at the table, so no reads.

Preflop: chesspain is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
7 folds, chesspain raises, SB calls, BB 3-bets, chesspain caps, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (12 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, chesspain bets, SB calls, BB raises, chesspain calls, SB calls.

Turn: (9 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, chesspain folds...

Standard?

Given the SB I think this is fine. I think this might have been really interesting had a A or K hit the turn but as is its dull, and I play it the same.

If the SB wasn't a factor I might be inclined to call down. I'd be more inclined if I knew something about the BB, of course.

I like the PF cap with the SB in there. Either you're knocking SB out or getting extra value from his call.

I'm not even thinking twice about checking behind on the flop.

Coming off of a -100BB two-day period, so sorry if this hand was super standard. The full hand is as follows:

Perfect.

Preflop is beyond standard. Flop I see as a must bet since you'll be betting the best hand pretty often. Calling the check/raise seems just fine given the pot and that you're outs are likely good. Folding the turn looks good considering that SB is hanging around here with something and you're very likely behind BB.

Ouch. Oh well. It's a rarity that they'll both be on the spade draw.

Does anyone think BB should bet the river here?

Definitely, 1BB for an 11BB pot. The SB doesn't have to fold his hand very often for this to be profitable. Considering he has limped along the whole time it's not unreasonable to put him on a draw (if he's a weak player).
