What do you put all your opponents on?

It's too hard to put them on hands, they're unknown and at this level that means they could have anything, but we're getting close to 4 to 1 effective odds if just 1 more BB goes in on the river. Sure they'll draw out sometimes but I think we're good here enough. Sometimes we won't even have to pay a river bet due to the action.

If I'm hero, I'm not *too* worried about being "drawn out" on here. When I see a hand like this, checked around, the only two realistic draws are QT and T8, and I make a position bet with what may be the best hand, and everybody calls, I'm a little wary of continuing. When the BB suddenly leads into the field KNOWING he's going to get raised by a jack, I'm very very concerned. If he has a flush draw, what is betting going to do for him? All he's doing is charging himself to draw. For me, the hand plus the pot that we're going to win are pretty marginal here.
