Comments on all streets welcome. I had just posted in CO. Only read is that Button is a stereotypical loose passive fish.

your river bet is no good

it's impossible for a worse hand to call and a better hand is certainly never folding.

Looks like the best you can do is chop. But also looks like you may not be beat. I think a bet here might make it a 2 way chop instead of three. Maybe worth a try since villains don't appear likely to raise it up and your bet woud be believable. You can't call a raise though.

You do realize that the only way you hold the best hand on the river is if the floor comes over and boots the other two guys out of the hand for colluding, right? Another way to look at it is: if you have the best hand, so do the other two guys.

You're fine to the river. Bona's point is valid, but the chances that anybody folds, well, anything, at .05/.10 is pretty slim. Just check the river. The interesting question is what happens when the action goes check-check-bet-call-???

You fold because one of them has an ace or even a king beats us here. We are 100% counterfeited. We'd also be calling to win 1/3rd of the pot, which makes are odds about 3.33:1 and not a glorious 10:1.

The only reason to bet is to get a fold from Jx or Kx since you're playing the board. Since Button is passive, I just check and take the hopefully free showdown.
