Yeah, your almost certainly behind and the odds arn't there. Also you have 2 players call a raise and a reraise on that flop, I think it's a safe assumption that one of them was chasing either a flush or a straight and the turn completed both. Why not take a free shot at the boat? This is the biggest advantage of position and as you will be last to act on the river you can still controll the size of the pot (call a small bet if you don't fill, raise if you do)

yeah... it looks like joanjoan got just what she needed, if she wasn't there already on the flop. Nice laydown

I would check the turn, look for the boat, if it didn't come, I'd call a decent bet on the river. I don't know if that's right but that's how I play it.
