with no draws present, I'm tempted to c/c down on turn and river.

I would rather lead the turn and guage CO's reaction.If he raises, I hate life, and call because I hope he has Q8 instead of a set. I think you can fold this river. :shock:

Getting 20:1 i'd be tempted to call down and hope its a massively overplayed KQ or something along those lines.I really think we're much better off check calling the turn and river as UTG is almost always betting both of these and I want to show down this hand for as cheaply as possible once that turn hits.If we're gonna bet the turn anyone else think bet/fold is the best line here.

I think not showing this down sux.that's why betting turn sucks.we choose between calling down for 1 BB more than c/c'ing or not showing down our hand in a huge pot.

Looking at this hand in the morning, I realize you are right. Not in the way you spell sucks 2 different ways, but in the way you handle the turn and river in this hand.
