Do you really think shoving is a good option there? IMHO you can be facing a lot of hands that will call and have some edge against you..

Seems hard to me how to play this... I'll wait for suggestions.

I'm checking with BTN still to act. I don't mind getting it in with him, if he bets and SB folds. I'm concerned with what SB could be holding here. It's very close for me though, any reads on SB?

In this spot I don't see a reason to turn your hand into a bluff when no better hand is folding.

I almost said the same, but the pot so large by this point I don't think (if you bet) there is any reasonable bet except all-in. So I think it's pretty close in that regard.

I'd check; if BTN checks as well giving me a free card then great. If not I may check call, or fold if the odds aren't worth me chasing the open ended straight.

Checks good.
