Nope.

I might push on the flop for the usually existent Full House outs, obviously you're not getting the pure nuts to fold or lose the hand though (and I don't think there's anyway to possibly beat that hand).

Other than that, I'd have to check the turn. You really want to check the turn for a free card, and so you might underbet the pot even more to make sure you can.

no. just be glad it wasnt a cash game.

If the Villian had [9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif] (instead of [9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif]) on that flop; [7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif], then I would at least had a 33% chance of winning with my [8/images/graemlins/club.gif 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif], but...

when you're drawing dead, you get there

You probably could sniff out the flush if you underbet the turn. I am not sure why these other posters think you pratically had the nuts with all these possibilities that could beat you on the board.
