Re: 88 hand, flopped Set
Your thinking trips over itself here, Kumarshah. On the one hand, you won't bet the river because you think draws may have come in but on the other, you consider a turn checkraise. But if the other guys are playing draws, you allow them to take a free card. Big no no.
Button raises a lot of hands, so I wouldn't necessarily put him on AK. UTG+2 could have anything: a small pair, an ace, the other 8, a 5, 76s, whatever. You'd need a read on him. Not that many draws come in. Basically, anyone holding a 9 or AK has got lucky, so AK/A9/K9/J9 (T9 will surely raise the turn and probably Q9 will too) are the hands you'd be worried about. That's not much of button's range. You can probably exclude pairs above T and AQ, but that still leaves him a lot of hands that he could have and could be playing here.
