I suggest a flop call and hope you can raise the turn and not put in any more. Pretty vain hope, though.

Sick. A turn raise is spewing.

I'm looking for a turn fold, but it's impossible to find getting 14.5:1 with 4 probable outs. I'm not really counting on the 8s or Js. Discounting those outs should offset the times we lose to QJs when an 8 comes and the times we lose to 88 when a jack comes.

Fold the river getting 16.5 to 1? Dunno about that. I've seen some strange things happen in big pots, and I'm sure your coach has too.

Without any major reads besides "slightly passive", I think I play the hand the same way you did and expect to lose it 90% of the time. But, at 16.5:1 a river call is +EV.
