Default Stars 10/20: how hard to push with a mediocre hand

UTG is a terrible calling station, something like 75/5/0.7. Button is unknown. Anyone like?

PokerStars 10/20 Hold'em (5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (4 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB folds, UTG calls, Button calls.

Turn: (5 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, Button calls.

River: (8 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, planning to call 1 bet

Final Pot: 8 BB

I like it but I bet the river since UTG is so passive. Button gets to check behind his worse hands and bet his better ones.

The river check is fine. There is little value in a bet this time.

Call me weak, but I check/fold. The button obviously has a hand better than mid pair mid kicker if hes hung around, king on the river is more ways we're beat. Heads up its an easy call.

Check/call is the worst though. We aren't inducing any draws to bet in a 3-way pot, so any bet we're almost certainly beat. If they call, we're probably beat too.

So Check-fold &gt;&gt;&gt; Bet-fold &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; check-call.

What about preflop? I thought a complete was fine here but got told by a couple of people I respect that it's a mistake.

I don't think it's that bad against 2 limpers one of whom is terrible. It it's a mistake, it's not a big one.
