Flopped Nuts. Huge 3-way Pot. Atrocious Turn, OOP.

[Woolygimp]

Me and BB are effectively 200bbs deep. For the most part I put UTG on an overpair which I still had beat on the turn.
BB definately has me scared because he has played his hand like a draw thus far.

At the time I figured my best line was to bet $140 on the turn, effectively putting UTG all-in, and folding to any aggression whatsoever from BB. This line has a few problems, one being if BB had a pair + combo on the flop such as TP w/ an 8 he now has a straight and if he chooses to be aggressive he could easily fold me out of a large split pot.

In hindsight I think I should've checked, but I'm very interested in hearing other opinions.

For what it's worth my plan was to push any safe turn.

Thoughts? More to continue.

First of all, I fold preflop. Second, I'm almost twisting towards a check-push.

I'd 3-bet more on the flop and check the turn. If the BB bets big (knowing that the UTG has half the pot left) I'd give up. It may seem weak and you are still ahead a lot here but that's such a horrible turn - when you are behind you are all but dead and when you are ahead there are probably plenty of cards that change that. I'm not sure it's best though and partly depends on the villians and flow of the game I guess. Such a yukky spot.

Pretty terrible spot, I'd definitely raise a lot more on the flop though.
