I would not fold to a raise.

I couldn't have not check/raised that flop.

Re: Bet out or check/call the river?
 

Seems like an easy bet/call. I wouldn't be too thrilled with calling a CO raise, but this pot is effing huge. I'd also probably check/raise the flop. I think going for a turn check/raise here is really risky and that UTG checks something like AJ and makes you puke too often.

What's with the flop play?

On the river, I would bet-call. Do you think UTG post-raised with a 9 or a 4 (and would 3-bet the turn with those hands - maybe it's T9, but that's doubtful)? If anything, it looks like an overplayed overpair.

I have no idea what CO is doing, but he doesn't get credit for a straight because he couldn't fold on the turn.

Yeah, but the flop error is larger than the potential river error.

I'm not looking for another long-winded debate over c/raising the flop. We've had enough of those threads over the years. I'm asking if I should bet out/call or check/call the river.
