I feel like I'm beat here but 3:1 is tempting. T8 doesn't seem likely from a 23/20 cold calling out of the SB. Are we beat 75%+ here? Also, does anyone check behind on the turn?

Check turn, fold river. Sure seems like tag is drawing here but he could also have hit 2 pair or more likely a set. I'm sure he doesn't put you on a straight and is value shoving this river.

You're basically never ahead on the flop with this action and he's pretty committed to the pot. Check-fold.

Re: 5/10 TPTK + NFD bricks, interesting river
 

definitely check turn. river is an ez fold.

he can have a lot of strong hands here and be just calling along to let the donkey in, fold
