Default HU on river, no cap, 2nd nuts--how far? (Poll)

Crypto, $2/$4, 6 max, 5 handed

Hero is SB. Hero is dealt Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

UTG limps, two folds, hero raises, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero checks, BB checks, UTG bets, hero calls, BB raises, UTG caps, hero calls, BB calls.

Okay, maybe a bit too much FPS on the flop, but these were both somewhat aggressive players, I was majorly stuck, and wanted to scoop a big pot. Seems to be working so far as both UTG and BB love their hands.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero donkbets, BB calls, UTG raises, hero raises, BB folds, UTG caps, Hero calls.

Well, so far things are looking great. I've got to put UTG on a set--88 or 33, or *maybe* Q8.

River: 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero bets, UTG raises, hero raises, UTG raises...

So, how far do I take this? My set of queens are no longer the nuts, but I'm only losing to JT. I can't imagine even the most aggressive player playing a gutshut this way, given the heavy action so far. Even J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is a major stretch seeing how he didn't slow down when the turn blanked and he easily could have just called.

Should I go all the way to the felt assuming he has a lower set, or just call after a few more bets?
