Re: 8/16 live, 98s
I bet the turn. The board was full of draws, and UTG probably had one. He bet, and then he was called, and he probably didn't think that putting in bets with the worst hand was a good plan on the turn.
On this action, I definately bet the river. If I bet the turn, and get called, I most likely bet the river.
No matter what UTG holds, you probably are a favorite against his hand on the flop. I think that if you raise, and it gets headsup, (which it would have this time), you create extra equity for yourself, in the form of dead money. This time it didn't matter, because your call was scary enough for everyone to fold. You certainly have enough equity in this pot, that nothing bad can happen to you on the flop.
If you raise the flop, and aren't reraised, I probably just keep betting until the river, where I might take a free showdown. If you get reraised, you can reevalueate your situation.
