I have reads on two players at this table. Unfortunately, neither are involved in this hand. Table is decent, on the aggro side.

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="666666">4 folds</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

-- Fold pre-flop?

Flop: (3 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">UTG raises</font>, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG raises</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, UTG calls, MP3 calls.

-- Eek.

River: (13.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Hero calls, UTG calls.

-- Pot is big, cards are stuck to my fingers? Bet/fold to a raise?

I don't know what the best play is on the river, but everything before that looks fine to me.

One advantage that I can think of to checking the river is that if UTG bets and MP3 raises, you can fold without investing any more money in the hand.

I think MP3 probably made his hand, but I would call when it's one bet back to me too.

If I bet the river, UTG folded, and MP3 raised, I'd worry he was making a play at me with, say, a missed straight and would probably call and lose two bets on the river. And I'd rather check and call one than do that.
