I think fold is probably best, but if not, then I like betting, and hoping the steamer will raise with AT or some junk and make the good player fold overs. I don't much like the PF call, but if you were expecting that you could use the LAG as leverage to get the good player out on favorable flops like this, then I guess its okay to put in 2 more bets from BB here.

Depends how often the button has been successfully isolating the CO and how often you've been the uninvited 3rd wheel. Basically it depends on whether the button's range of hands is huge or just large, and how willing he is to get leveraged out by you and the CO if you bet.

What flop are you hoping for?

This looks like one of them.

check and decide what to do based on how your opponents react to that flop. i like a checkraise of the LP guy if both guys don't look like they have much of a hand.

If have a steaming, aggressive player behind me, a solid, thinking, aggressive player behind him, an underpair to all three flop cards, the worst position, and two more dangerous cards to my underpair still to come, for any given action, my equal and opposite reaction would be to fold.
