Default What to do vs these donkeys?

UTG is 40/10, Most of his raises are minraises, so I do give a tiny bit of respect to his utg raise here. Will overplay his hands.

SB is a 60/30 retard.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

CO ($751.15)
Hero ($662)
SB ($687.25)
BB ($765.80)
UTG ($442.65)
MP ($408.99)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $3.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $20</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls $20, SB (poster) calls $17, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($66) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $46</font>, Hero calls $46, SB calls $46.

Turn: ($204) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks.

River: ($204) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $125</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $250</font>,

Not sure what to do with this flop, if I raise it sb comes along with any piece of it, but utg is dumb(smart?) enough to push with a hand that I am beating.

Bet the turn?
As played, can I call this river?

I push the river.
You are beat here only by a flush. JT is out the question. (The only way a normal player would call the flop bet was with JdTd, but since you have the Td, you can rule out someone having JdTd. I don't think anyone is calling a flop with a gutshot/backyard flush (JsTs) for 3/4 the pot). Anyway, the spade is not really a scare card. SB did not call the flop bet with 2 spade overcards hoping for runner runner. Now for UTG. Considering his 10% PFR, the only hand I'd be somewhat concerned about it As, Qs. He might have continuation bet the flop. Slowed down on the turn when a king came up, and backed into a flush. He could just as easily got a set of kings on the turn and decided to (foolishly) slowplay it. Considering his high VP$IP and tendency to minraise, I push since there are many hands he will call me with that I beat and only one (As, Qs) that has me beat. ALL-IN ON THE RIVER!

Why in God's name would you push the river? What are you trying to accomplish? You don't need to push just because you think you're ahead.

You might lose to a flush or a higher straight, and not a lot else is going to call with a 4-straight. Even really bad players notice that 'all you need is a 10'.

I Call.

Just call, you can still pickup an additional $125 from SB if he's really that much of a donk... no reason to raise with such an obvious holding.

yeah, my fault. i thought UTG had a bigger stack. since he has only $100 left, it is definetly better to call and hope SB calls $125.
