1/2 live, AA, drawy board pairs, two opponents

[DrMega]

1/2 live game. I have about $180 and villains have me covered and I would consider them loose-passive.

Hero is UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

DrMega raises to $12, three callers including the button.

Flop: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

DrMega leads out for $40, UTG+1 calls, MP folds, button calls.

Turn: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

DrMega bets $80, UTG +1 and button call.

River: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

DrMega ????

My feeling was that both of these players were drawing, or that one of them could have flopped QJ and the 9 helped me. I didn't like shoving the turn but I didn't like my bet size either. The river is obviously craptacular. Thoughts?

Thanks.

Check/fold. One of these guys has a ten, maybe both. I might call a small bet.

You can't really fold with 48 BBs left on the river, just pray you're up against QJ and a busted FD-

Although I don't think there's much value in your turn bet here and I'd check here almost all the time.

you shouldn't have a river decision in a pot that is $48 on the flop and you had $168 behind

pot is $168 on the turn... you have $168.... push

There's $400 in the pot, and you have $48 left. There is no river decision.

If you trust your turn read (that the 9 helped you) then push on turn. No shame in rebuying if you're caught.
